Trust Crisis - Prof Michael Macaulay

Is there a crisis of distrust in New Zealand? A new study commissioned by Victoria University's Institute for Governance and Policy Studies has found that New Zealanders have little trust in government, and that trust has decreased quite dramatically over the last three years. The Institute's Director, Michael Macaulay says the rankings offer a snapshot of the current political climate, which is typified by low voter turn out and a public largely disengaged with politics.
