Do today’s politicians have the courage to
make hard choices? Or has the furious pace of modern politics put an end to the
age of reform?

at New Zealand’s record on spending, tax and welfare.
He discovers that while Australia has been
avoiding difficult decisions, the New Zealanders have been silently forging
ahead.
