Re: Delusions of ingenuity
lol wow a bit harsh. Glad to see the kiwi's in the comment section have a sense of humour though the New Zealand media always behaves like it has chip on it's shoulder. The likes of Stuff and Newshub is rubbish and their journalists have the mindset of someone who has just left secondary school as their articles are utter rubbish. Even the mainstream media are horrendous. There is much more important things going on in New Zealand and the world that barely get a mention. My opinion of New Zealand changed massively based on how much media coverage a few disruptive tourists got who in the scheme of things did nothing to warrant being in the media. Kiwi's are so obsessed with reality TV and social media that they don't have a comprehension about the serious issues in society and aren't interested. How much attention and media coverage did the recent policy to extend abortion rights get or even with the euthanasia debate which isn't a debate because noone is talking about it. They would much rather worry about the most superficial rubbish, education is certainly better abroad or at the very least send your kids to Catholic school lol

Re: Delusions of ingenuity
You are correct, the media here is juvenile at best. It contains little or no news and is more often than not just a string of cliches and sound bites cobbled together

The ones here that are good at what they do can fly and go anywhere in the world.
The ones that are ship are still here.

Of course all the above is true, but can we just make it quite clear that none of it applies to Hillary Barry 😍💘
