  1. "'New Zealand used to have shoe factories. They were all over the country, until they weren’t. Now, New Zealand-made shoes feels like a distant memory, like carless days, a top-bracket tax rate of 66% and The Video Dispatch. We went from having 95% of our footwear made locally in the late 1980s to only 5% by 2008. These days it’s certainly even less than that."

Crucially, the Fund was consequently ordered to reformulate its investment policy…

  13. New Zealand, we need a chat.
    If you decide to have a harmless spider (tunnel web) that looks EXACTLY like the world's most aggressive and poisonous spider (funnel web), please don't make fun of the hapless Australian who has a bit of a conniption on spotting one in their loo.

    My neighbour is still laughing.
    Spider has been yeeted and was last seen very alive, scuttling beneath our decking to search somewhere else for his future ladylove.
    Meanwhile, I'm having a calm-down cup of tea and a biscuit.
    I could HEAR ITS FOOTFALLS ON THE TOILET SEAT! (Before I sat down)

    There will be no pictures. Just imagine. And then stop imagining and go look at some fluffy bunnies or some happy birds or something. A bunny cleanse. It's now a thing.

    *Okay, I have been informed by my lovely partner that they don't look QUITE identical... But he was not the person about to have a spider unintentionally applied to their undercarriage, so my case still stands.
