Aside from lots of sheep, what's wrong with New Zealand?



Here's the PM of NZ on the GCSB bill that allowed sweeping powers for the NZ spy agency (under his control) [1].

"All they can do is protect you, so it's against malware or a virus. ... On your computer at home you almost certainly have Norton Antivirus...that is exactly what that is, at a much higher level."
