But it would be enough $afrole for the ge$tapo pig$ in New $ealand to throw your niave a$$ into the pokey.

Because they (in Queen$land) are all "on the take", as I said before, and everyone knows it. The Pigs there take bribes from millionaire drug dealers
and smugglers, to refrain from "busting" them or to get advance information about narks and intended "drug busts". The politicians there take bribes
(sometimes under the guise of "election campaign donations") to pass repressive banning legislation from, among others, the big pharmaceutical
companies (who fear competition from herbal and other naturopathic remedies against their overpriced products), and the alcohol and tobacco companies
(who fear the possibility of people getting "hooked" on competing drugs other than their products). And We$t Au$tralia is little better, if at all.
Besides, they are also racist.

Police corruption in NZ is much less evident than in Australia. We all remember the 'tough of prostitutes' stance of the ultra moral Bjelke Petersen
regime in QLD. Trouble is that underground brothels flourished, with proceeds going to the QLD police, who were also their regular (free) customers.
And these guys also carry guns.
In NZ police are unarmed, I never heard such corruption stories. We used to leave money out in the street in milk bottles. Only trouble is it leaves
you unprepared to face the world.

Wasn't there a recent survey that showed that New Zealand is the least corrupt country in the world?
