#2 Religious persecution in New Zealand. Too bad, it's such a beautiful place. Crossed off my bucket list.

#3 NZ has been off the reservation for a long time. Sort of the San Francisco of the Pacific. They believe the US abd Oz would protect them so they are worse freeriders than the EUros.

#4 Excuse me but Muslims are permitted to eat kosher. It meets or exceeds the halal specifications.

#6 I didn't understand this article.

From what I could infer this has to do with exporting. That is, I think NZ exports halal beef and lamb to the muslim world now and will continue doing so. Some producers wanted to export to Israel (and would have set up kosher slaughtering ops) but will not be able to do so. NZ Jews who ate kosher meat had been eating imported beef and lamb anyway.

Domestically kosher produced poultry was to be banned but is no longer to be banned.

This is what makes the law suit by the NZ Jewish difficult (because there is, in effect, no change in the system to the Jewish community and thus, presumably, no grounds for a standing to sue).

The potential producers of kosher meat would seem to have grounds to sue but if the govt is promising them more revenue from sales to the muslim world, they probably wouldn't take it to court.

So the NZ govt has been clever (and yet despicable).

#7 With the exception of the Maurie, where was it New Zealanders came from? I rest my case.
