The NZ Business Round Table which consist of the top Executives and Directors from most of NZ big business and is a major lobbiest for deregulation, privatisation etc, currently has a Dr David G. Green touring the country. They commissioned him to write a report on social welfare etc. It conclusions are (wait for it) that it (along with education etc) should be privatised: "the civil society" he calls it, without any sense of irony. Does anyone know anything about Dr Green? They have not told us much, but we do know: 1976-1981: Labour councillor in Newcastel upon Tyne 1981-1983: Research fellow at ANU 1983-1986: No information 1986- : Director of Health and Welfare Unit at the Institute of Economic Affairs in London. Anyone fill in any gaps or know what his training is?
