OXFAM will be released a report that exposes extreme wealth disparities in New Zealand. The report shows that 1% of New Zealanders own 20% of the country’s wealth and that the number of wealthy New Zealanders worth more than $50 million also grew by 20% in the past year. The Executive Director of OXFAM, Rachel Le Mesurier, spoke to 95bFM producer Martha Lees about the main findings of the report.
