We Aussies might pick on our kiwi cousins but they really do put us to shame with their progressiveness and equality. I think the world is envious of their admirable leader Adern.

I feel like a barbarian compared to the people of New Zealand. after the shooting at Christchurch it took about three days to remove all the guns in the country.

THE Isle of Man was the first country in the world to give the vote to women in national elections, 37 years before the opportunity was given to women in the UK.
