At least you have what sounds like worthwhile news, lately in New Zealand the news networks have been serving up some clangers, every day you are guareanteed to see one of the following stories:
a) Idiot unprepared (mostly tourist) hikers/climbers get surprised by a sudden change of weather on a desolate mountain slope and have to be rescued (with taxpayer dollars!).
b) A car crash on a perfectly straight peice of road, the Police blame it on alchohol/drugs/speed when the blatantly obvious cause is the unbelievable 3rd world state of New Zealand roads (potholes etc).
c) They keep on hammering that the number of people killed on New Zealand roads has been increasing. I have news for you: SO HAS THE POPULATION. Also since the roads have not been improved as such since sometime in the 1950s, the declining state of the roadways "might" also contribute.
Yeah, the news has been really irritating me lately.
