The Prime Minister expects this week to be dominated by the visit of Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and questioning at his weekly press conference also focused on our relationship with our larger neighbour. Topics included the constitutional circumstances under which Ms Gillard will speak in our Parliament, a new investment regime and the extent New Zealand is 'closing the gap' with their economy and the level of migration.
