857541 2010-02-12 02:40:00 In many ways it's not what we have that's important to our quality of life—it's what we don't have. We don't have high crime rates, our police don't carry guns and instances of corruption are virtually unheard of. We don't have abject poverty or hunger and we don't have the pollution, congestion, health issues and cramped city living that we see elsewhere.

Does that belong on a Tui billboard?

One of the things you will find here, and it’s something we take very seriously, is our acceptance of different views and ideas. We are a modern, secular, democratic society with no ingrained class system. Freedom of speech, expression and religious belief is guaranteed in law. Equal opportunity
We don’t judge people on how they sound, what colour they are, how they vote, where they go to church, where they live or the type of car they drive.

Take an overseas trip to almost anywhere and you'll see how right they are . Every nation has pollution, corruption, social injustice, class systems etc .

It's not about presence, but it's extent .

And we're doing OK, no matter what PF1 speculation might tell you .

Crime here isn't THAT bad . Out homocide rate could do with some serious ironing out though . . . 2/100k as opposed to Aus' 1 . 2/100k is embarrassing . You do have to wonder how honest those reports are though . . .
