Abstract
This report models the costs and benefits of Menzies’ social and economic contribution to the Northern Territory, Australia and the Asia-Pacific. -- Across the Northern Territory, Australia and the Asia-Pacific, Menzies’ activities generated a total benefit of $1.1 billion, with a net benefit of $697.9 million and a benefit-cost ratio of 2.7. The impact of Menzies’ globally-recognised work in eliminating malaria in the region is clearly evident. -- In the Northern Territory, Menzies’ activities generated a total benefit of $309.1 million, with a net benefit of $168.4 million and a benefit-cost ratio of 2.2. In addition, in 2014 Menzies supported 252 full-time equivalent jobs in the Northern Territory. Many of these jobs are highly skilled, largely as a function of Menzies’ capacity to attract funding from outside the Territory. -- page iii,
