I came across this website whilst reading about New Zealand. While it seems to have been written by someone who has a huge chip on their shoulder, I would like to hear others' opinions on it if possible, is any of this true?

Wow, it makes it sound like Somalia on a bad day! I can only imagine that the author's mind is a little unhinged. The phrase "zionist media", and the fact that he can't spell NZ are suspicious.
How about this - 1522 foreigners killed by "negligent homicide" in NZ since 2000, compared to the actual murder rate of 12 per million since 2004.
"Road toll could top 1500" - whereas it's generally around 400
"Total number of people killed in Air New Zealand crashes or other aviation incidents in New Zealand" - "many hundreds" apparently. Actually, I think the number killed in NZ by Air NZ is zero, ever, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

But - the headline I love the most is.......

"Is New Zealand’s Biowarfare Industry the Missing Link in Swine Flu Outbreak?"

Didn't see that!

It's also worth bearing in mind that the "migrant assistant group" quoted in the article are having issues with NZIS due to the fact they have been told they need to be registered as an agent and they are refusing.

Article from NZ Herald here.

I'm interested to know what you typed into Google for that blog site to come up. I even typed New Zeeland and it didn't appear. Just curious.

Maybe they used a different search engine as, according to that website, they are censured by google?

Woah! Some guy is pretty sad to be going on this sort of rant. It's not even a well presented web site.

Anyone tried to find out what's made some one (or a few people) so bitter?

I guess it's a good advert for why Intetnet access should be filtered.....someone with fairly serious issues (imho)

I couldn't find that site either, but came across this one.

Found the nightlife in Dunedin & parking in South Dunedin quite amusing

It's amazing how people can spend so much time producing something so negative!

Fair enough tell people about negatives as well as positives for a balanced view, but come on!

I've had a bit of time to read through some of this site now .. just wanted to share this comment someone has posted on it;

"This is a very interesting website and divulges many personal character insights of the author. I use this site for my students in the study of psychological profiling. Psyc students are asked to profile the author and report the emotional mental state with very interesting results. Keep up the good work."

Brilliant !!! Made my Monday

Good morning everybody

Thanks for all your replies. After having read through more of that site I realised it definitely seems to be the angry rantings of someone very disgruntled indeed.

I found the site after having read a thread in the Introductions section about Brits being asked to leave, so I googled "Brits told to leave New Zealand" and came across that site.

Being interested in moving to NZ I'm curious to read about everything I can, the good and the bad (there are pros and cons in every country, it's just a matter of which cons can you live with and which you can't).

Interestingly enough, though that site seems over the top, somehow it still feels better than where I am

This guys a f@#king idiot. NZ is a great country, a little boring at times and the dog walking is crap but this guys site is negative nonsense.

You could do a site like this for the UK easy enough but the UK is great too.

Its easy enough to search out the crap wherever you are.

NZ is not a racist country toward anyone with different skin tones. The governments bend over backwards for Maori and still get shit for it.

Read a bit more of this site. It is definately written by some stupid Maori with a serious problem. He blames the white man for all the problems. Thats just typical.

How is it crap? I would have thought such a scenic and beautiful country would have lots of good places to walk a dog?
