| Since 1976 the CIS has evolved into the leading public policy think-tank in Australasia. We are staunchly independent, non-partisan, and committed to free markets and a free society.
In 2006 the New Zealand Policy Unit was established to focus specifically on NZ policy issues. Our work so far has focussed on tax, government spending, tertiary education and social policy. Already our work has stimulated debate and attracted widespread media coverage.
As well as research, the establishment of the New Zealand Policy Unit has seen an increase in activities across the three other key areas of CIS work - events, publishing and media liaison.
The expansion of CIS activities in New Zealand is about promoting continuous public policy improvement and, as in Australia, CIS will provide an independent voice for change.
