Premier current affairs from the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC) providing in depth coverage of political topics from both a New Zealand and overseas perspective.

  • 1The topic is the New Zealand car industry where foreign vehicles are assembled in NZ but new cars cost nearly as much as a house and require overseas funds and import licences, and there are also tariff controls. Despite this NZ, in 1968, is second only to the USA in per capita ownership of cars and the industry has developed the country's technical and engineering skills and provides jobs. However, there are reports of poor quality assembly and questions about why it is done here at all. NZ has also started building its own vehicle, one suited to the terrain, the Trekka. Another vehicle, the Anziel Nova is at the proposal stage.
