Answer 1

hi my name is anahera and i am from new zealand lol, anywho umm the future of new zealand well i think depends on who is voted prime minister, and the government groups. Currently new zealands biggest ethnicity population is Asians, but the government elections are coming soon and depending on who is voted for, one leader of his party said that he will restrict asians coming into new zealand as there are too many. (personally i really do not have a problem with asians i really think they are nice people) also depending on who gets prime minister next year will depend on if tax rates will rise or fall and other things. overall i believe new zealands future is that it will be very expensive too live here soon (it is already very high prices for food, and pretty high taxes and low wages) alot of new zealand citizens after study they go overseas too work as wages here are not that good, it is very hard too find a good paying job here. so our future really depends on how we pick as our next leader.

Answer 2

I am not from New Zealand, but there is one interesting point I would like to make you aware of, as it may be of use in your report, especially about economics.  

NZ's Minister of Tourism recently said that if NZ was to be a carbon - neutral country, in other words, significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions - it would require the HALT of all long-haul flights to and from New Zealand, which would KILL their tourism industry, which is a major contributor to their economy.

Also, NZ is becoming more and more Asian in terms of their demographics.
