Actually finding it really quite freaky the number of ads there are for bug killers and germ killers. I thought NZ would have given that sort of thing up in their quest for GREEN, but they appear not to.
Nonetheless, I can't see them being at all biophobic. The media seems all gleeful and excited that this year's Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is going to meet the tail-end of Cyclone Laurence. As you know, this big-deal race usually reports the results a minute or so after they issue the death toll, and the Kiwis like this insousiance enormously and enter it in numbers.
And there was a very encouraging item on the news last night where some little town raised the height of the local bridge or something like that, so the kiddies weren't jumping off it any more therefore all these adults were showing them it was still "easy as" (that's a term they use over here a great deal) by jumping off it themselves. "Five generations have jumped off this bridge" the local adults were saying "And we can't let this tradition die off now."
So that's my choice for this week.
THERE'S NO REAL THREATDOWN WHEN ADULTS RETAIN THEIR SANITY!
