Choices & Consequences: The 2010 Budget

This is a reminder about the free Fabian Society lecture and discussion tonight (Tuesday 23 March) in Auckland. The choices that we are making as a country will have a huge impact for the future of NZ. There has never been such an urgent need for a debate to be had about what kind of country we want to live in and to leave to future generations.

Choices and Consequences: The 2010 Budget is the first lecture in the Fabian Society's Resilient Economy Series. Tonight’s lecture will feature Peter Harris, well-known economist. Peter will outline an progressive alternative context for this year's budget.
Peter has been observing and commenting on economic policy and performance for over thirty years. He specialises in challenging mainstream economic doctrine, and in cutting through jargon to present his analysis in lay terms. I have read Peters paper and it’s very insightful, dispels many myths and will truly meet the Fabian s standard of inciting debate.

I’ll be on hand to put the business perspective. There will also be an opportunity for you to participate.

The lecture will be held at in the Decima Glenn Room (Rm 310), University of Auckland, Owen Glenn Building, 10 Grafton Road, commencing at 5:30pm. There is a map on the registration page and parking is available under the Owen Glenn Building,

You can register for the Auckland (23 March), Wellington (24 March) or Christchurch (28 April) free lectures.

More information about the NZ Fabian Society and its activities are available on its web site. This includes copies of presentations from last week's Bold Choices for a Better Future seminar.
