Trust is eroding over time in our public institutions.  

The Acumen Edelman Trust Barometer reveals 67% of New Zealanders express a sense of grievance with business, media, government and NGOs – surpassing the global average of 61%.  

Many feel overlooked by those in power and disillusioned as a result 

Acumen Chief Executive Adelle Keely says it's a wake-up call for those in charge.  

She says for the past few years, businesses have been the most trusted institution - but this year for the first time, no institutions are trusted at all. 

Keely told Mike Hosking it's a worldwide trend.
