The joint IFA PAA conference has been great so far and I am looking forward to Friday. Here was a quick shot from Oliver Hartwich's talk on the future for New Zealand. Twin themes of educational performance and house prices were both tied back to political organisation and the relative weakness of our over-large councils. 

Do pop over and visit the IDS stand which Quotemonster is sharing. We are demonstrating the new needs analysis functionality (now available for subscribers to the research service). Alan, Kelly, and I will be at the stand all day Friday. Look forward to seeing you there. But if you aren't at the conference and you would like a demonstration please email me and I shall let you know when we will be nearby and we can demonstrate it to you.
