![Prime Minister 1873
Vogel implemented an immigration
and works scheme designed to
revive the economy and provide the
pre-conditions of economic growth.
In ten years he was able to bring
about results that would otherwise
have taken decades to achieve
…and do more to put an end to
hostilities than an army of ten
thousand men.
“We considered it very desirable, in
a young country, that wealth should
not be in the hands of a few
capitalists [who]…would leave the
Julius Vogel (1835-1899) country, and enjoy elsewhere the
wealth so accumulated.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/sustainablefuturepresentationswfsconference20072009-100127222543-phpapp02/85/Four-Possible-Futures-for-New-Zealand-WFS-9-320.jpg)

B: The Big Picture Of the 97 billion who have lived 90 billion have died Of the 7 billion alive 3 billion currently live on $2 or less a day Of the 4 billion living on more than $2 2 billion are financially and physically dependent So we represent the 2 billion earning, alive and able to make a difference (2 billion divided into 97 – we are the 2%)

- 34. Well NZ Well World Poor Poor
- 35. Indicators Responses of Powerful counties – Self-sufficient, heavily armed and a fortress mentality – Serious engagement with all the problems of the planet Responses of Small counties – Disrupt – Ignore – Adapt / Innovate • Monitor closely what is happening • Support global leadership (UN, WB, etc) • Build alliances (e.g. State of Australia, Pacific Union) – Leadership - lead by example
- 36. Small countries like New Zealand might have a limited ability to influence world events… …but we can still shape the future.
- 37. New Zealand will never be the puppeteer… …but we can be part of the audience, and that means we can decide to give a standing ovation or boo the performance.
- 38. We can show global players how changes should be made – not because they have to listen to us… …but because small countries have put in place something that powerful countries want.
- 39. New Zealand needs a ‘National Strategy’ to optimise our future, to align our industry, to reinforce our national brand and to be an example of what is possible - not because we have to, but because we want what it can deliver
