Leeann Watson: Business Canterbury Chief Executive on Business NZ report

A warning our major political parties need to display more bipartisan planning so we don't buckle to a dwindling population and economic growth.  Business NZ's report warns a labour shortage of at least a quarter of a million is expected before 2050, and there's also a one in four chance the population doesn't grow. Business Canterbury Chief Executive Leeann Watson told Andrew Dickens says major parties need to reach a certain level of bipartisan agreement on the country's big decisions  She says businesses want to see steady incremental progress not a pendulum shift which potentially puts us backwards.
