>What about New Zealand?

Well that is nice of you, to be sure.

>First with preferential voting,

Umm, if you mean proportional voting for elections, then new Zealand is a

>The Rainbow Warrior response was bit piss-weak though.

In view of what the NZ police achieved, I am not so sure of that.

>The Queen of England still runs the place, so

No more than she runs Australia or the UK. Less so than the President of the
USA runs the USA.

Hmm, maybe the story is to move Oz a bit south to protect NZ from the
Southern Ocean winds ... ;))
