"The price we pay for civilisation"

Senior taxation lecturer at Massey Univeristy, Deborah Russell, has co-authored a book with Terry Baucher, director of tax consultancy firm, Baucher Consulting Limited. In Tax and Fairness, they propose a modernised system, which would more accurately reflect the New Zealand's economy in 2017. Producer Ben speaks with Russell, also the Labour Party's candidate for New Lynn, about why New Zealand's tax system needs an overhaul.
