Now I'm Depressed

So the top entrepeneurial minds of New Zealand got together yesterday to generate 5 ideas to get our economy pumping. Bright minds, thinking outside the box get together at a summit to tell poor old, dumb, lazy New Zealanders how to make a buck.
They came up with this:
-Kiwicard Travel: Tourists buy a $10,000 special debit card which can be spent only on goods and services in New Zealand. Their airfare is paid by the Government and included with the card.
Not bad. New Zealand's tourist industry is a big part of our economy. $10,000 would contribute. 20 nights in some pretty good hotels or 50 pretty good meals or 10-15 of the more expensive touristy activities. And that's not the cost of a top end holiday in which tourists pay thousands of dollars to stay in our luxury lodges. In other words $10,000 is a bit less than the expenditure of a holiday in New Zealand by someone who can easily afford the fare anyway.

-Flying Kiwi Fund: A capital fund to attract investors to help fund the growth phase of small to medium-sized businesses.
Good idea. I think we call that sort of fund a "bank".

-Possum Economics: Transfer the funds being used to poison the country's 70 million possums (about $200 million a year) into trapping possums for economic benefit.
Various New Zealanders have been trying to get a decent possum industry off the ground for years. This ain't a new idea. There are certainly a few arguments from coservationists as to why it can't work to control possums. If the government listened to that one I'd understand if the hard working people in the possum industry felt a little miffed that they'd been struggling all these years and it took a bunch of yuppies to get official recognition.

-Research and Development: Reform and collation of intellectual property rights to help bring them more quickly to the market, where they can generate revenue.
Again a good idea. But hardly original.

-Attitude Campaign: Dubbed "Give it a go, bro!", this idea is about encouraging a national positive attitude. It includes a advertising campaign and youth education.
That's it? That's all you've got? These people need to get out more. I think they think that anyone earning less than $100,000 p.a. is sitting around in public bars bitching. That's not the kiwi way, actually. Pop into my local and you'll find the atmosphere lively, jovial and poistive. Most of the people in the Trav on a Friday night have spent the week - and intend to spend the weekend giving it a go. Bro'.

A full day with 100 of our top enterpeneurial minds and that's what they come up with.
We're screwed. Oh - sorry. Give it a go, Bro!
