TVNZ has commissioned a poll by UMR of 1,000 Australians and 1,000 New Zealanders on whether New Zealand should become the 7th state of Australia. It found about 40% of respondents thought the idea was worth debating, but that 71% of New Zealanders and 52% of Australians opposed the idea.
下面by Bernard Hickey,挺有道理。。
Our economies are different enough for a forced combination to be dangerous. We export soft commodities such as dairy, meat and wool, while Australia exports hard commodities such as iron ore, other metals and coal. Our economic growth rates have differed significantly in recent decades.
The application of an Australian dollar and Australian monetary policy to New Zealand's economy would have been disastrous in the last 10 years or so in particular. Australian interest rates were lower than our rates from 2004 to 2009, which would have made the housing boom even worse. Australian rates started rising in October last year, which most believe would have been too early for our economy.
Just ask Ireland, Spain and Greece if they would like their own currencies and monetary policies back. They would take them back in a heartbeat.
We already have the best benefits of a union via CER and joint ownership of our banking, media and other industries. |
