Should New Zealand welcome or be wary of increased economic and political ties with Australia? Include in your response perspectives from different segments of New Zealand's population, such as sheep ranchers, Maoris, dairy farmers, fishermen,
and middle-class urbanites.
New Zealanders may stand to benefit from increased investments—although
some groups, such as the urbanites, may benefit more so. Depending on the type of connections,
other groups may disproportionately experience adverse effects; this holds, for example, if
agricultural relations are altered. The Maoris may specifically experience negative effects if
increased foreign investment leads to land-grabbing.
