Does that indicate that New Zealanders are not free? But, then, only Maurice can make such obvious mistakes of basic logic and apparent muddle of common sense. >heritage.org and I note the skids under New Zealand, sliding from number 2 behind Hong Kong to falling off the bottom of the top 10, tied with Oz/USA [which Americans can't understand; they think the USA is the land of the free and the rest of the world is a crowd of serfs, which we are, but they are too]. Helengrad is dragging us down, but the public voted for that. They should not moan as the place goes down the gurgler, since they voted for it to do so [not that they think they did].
