    Congratulations to the Kiwis! Well done! Let's hope this keeps up. I suspect there'll be a few new cases pop up over the next couple of weeks, but it looks like you've beaten the virus.

        Especially now that your PM will be joining our national cabinet (or should that be "transnational cabinet"?). Inviting one country's government leader to another country's governmental forum is a big deal. I expect that trans-Tasman "bubble" they're talking about is on the way.

        We've got less than 1,000 people currently infected.

            I think ScoMo and Potato Dutton will be fine with it, as long as New Zealand doesn't sneak any of those dirty "refugees" across the dutch. ;)
