Future Environmental Challenges for New Zealand
There is an enormous amount of work that needs to be done to solve our future environmental challenges – civil engineering projects, transport re-organisation, sea defences, military build-up, social legislation, community development, urban and rural relocalisation, racial integration and religious and moral revitalisation. These future environmental challenges may start to impinge on our daily lives within twenty years; we have to prepare ourselves for the worst.
While New Zealand in some ways already resembles a remote island fortress – surrounded by a thousand miles of ocean, and with a range of impregnable mountains – there is much that we need to do as a nation in the coming years to secure a safe future for our children and grand-children.
In particular, current government policies are quite simply taking the country in completely the wrong direction, by seeking unrestricted foreign trade and making New Zealand entirely dependent on external sources of essential commodities. Fortress New Zealand puts the case that we must insist that our government serve the interests of the people, rather than just building its own monolithic bureaucracy.
