Being a second generation NZer there is one thing that I learned when I was very, very, young, never say anything about anybody unless you have the guts to say it to there face! And I can remember the time when to show your courage one would enter into a pub on Saturday afternoon drink a beer and turn the glass upside down, ( NZ custom to find out how much blood you have in your body ) ) and my current passport No. starts with MO and was issued by the NZ Embassy in Rome which does not issue machine-readable passports
Hang on, you said that your passport is issued by the NZ Embassy in Rome. But the rules now state that unless you get your passport from London, Sydney or Wellington, you will onyl get temp documents good for one trip only.
And can you tell me who Dick Hubbard is, what Jafa means, or the meaning of the phrase "bring a plate" is? Or what non-political activieies Rodney Hide is currently involved in which is televised on air? If you can't and if you can't give a satisfactory explanation why, your claim to being a New Zealander will be highly suspect.
