I notice we are top in the world in the second pillar, ‘Integrating Relief and Development’ – that’s encouraging. Within that category, however our performance appears sporadic with rankings between 1st and 21st.

But still, it’s really great news particularly when NZ’s wealth is compared to that of the EU and Scandinavia.

I think the present government has performed quite well in terms of global politics and giving development/crisis aid.
