Dr Oliver Hartwich: NZ workplace safety experiment a breath of fresh air

One of the pleasures of my job as Executive Director of The New Zealand Initiative is hosting events with Ministers explaining their new policies to our members. Last week, we hosted Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden at our annual retreat.

I was impressed by the range of policies she discussed with us. Though our event operates under the Chatham House rule, all the policies have now been publicly announced, so I can safely write about them in this column.
