In one month in New Zealand I went to the zoo, zorbed down a hill, spelunked the glow worm caves, saw the geysers of rotorua, saw law made in Wellington, made a knife in Barrytown, carved a pendant in hokitika, jetboated in haast, had the best steak of my life in queenstown, skydived, bungee jumped.
All of it. Then I went home. Sweet.(cheers)
The Prime Minister of New Zealand has announced that their 'gun laws will change.' How likely is it that change will actually occur? What might that change look like for New Zealand?
(CNN)New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Saturday morning that "our gun laws will change" following the mass shooting at two Christchurch mosques that left 49 people dead.
"There were five guns used by the primary perpetrator," she said at a news conference in Wellington. "There were two semi-automatic weapons and two shotguns. The offender was in possession of a gun license. I'm advised this was acquired in November of 2017. A lever-action firearm was also found." She said the suspect, identified as Brenton Tarrant, obtained a gun license in November 2017 and began purchasing guns legally in December 2017.
"While work is being done as to the chain of events that lead to both the holding of this gun license and the possession of these weapons, I can tell you one thing right now. Our gun laws will change." Ardern said.

Is the Scientologist practice of "auditing" illegal under New Zealand law?

Isn't that the definition of an e-meter? You even have to pay for it.

[New Zealand] Passes law to give victims of domestic violence up to 10 days paid leave
Thought this was a pretty interesting. New Zealand has some pretty bad issues with domestic violence. This makes it a requirement for employers to give employees up to 10 days paid leave if they're victims of domestic violence to allow them to move out, get help, and do whatever they need to do to be safe.
Most people I know support this and are pretty happy about it, but I do wonder how much this could be abused for more paid 'holidays'. But maybe that's worth it if it helps people leave abusive relationships.
