[QUOTE=kaine123;39204514]Does New Zealand have as much censorship as Australia?[/QUOTE]
Nope
I remember back in the day at the video rental place they had the Playstation 1 game 'BMX XXX' and on the cover it said 'BANNED IN AUSTRALIA!' as an advertising thing
We had a little trouble with GTAIV, I think, when some council decided that we'd use Australia's rules on that one, but a month or so after the game was released it was overturned and we got the proper version

We want your scenic mountains too
I can't believe how suddenly free I am! This is amazing.
Congrats to those who beat us! (Americans) I dont know why some Americans are upset by this, we are still doing relatively good, and this leaves room for improvement. Plus I would hate it if our current situation was the best there was, that would be a reason to be upset.

[QUOTE=Antdawg;39209199]what censorship?[/QUOTE]
There is no censorship. Any images involving police brutality, foreign wars or government corruption are completely fictional. Move along and stop asking questions you damn pleb!
australia is tied for fourth so this article is obviously as far from accurate as it can possibly be.
i live in new zealand and this is BULLSHIT

my brother was assaulted the other day, and because it's a crime to say racist stuff, the dude that assaulted him just lied to the cops saying my brother called him a chink or somethin, so now if my brother presses charges he'd get charged too

john key spent the entire world cup forcing through legislation allowing the police to monitor ANYONE for ANY reason indefinitely
[editline]14th January 2013[/editline]
they tacked on bullshit legislation to the christchurch earthquake response which would also help the govt. fuck with people
he might and he might not, it all depends on the evidence
even though over half the country consumes or has consumed marijuana, our minister of drugs or whatever it's called said so long as he's in power marijuana legalization will NEVER be considered, regardless of the shitloads of support for it

new zealand is not free we have a government who literally only cares about lining their own pockets and whoring us off to tourists
[editline]14th January 2013[/editline]
i love this country but with our shitty USA-pandering china-loving tourist trapping government i cannot consider it the worlds freest country

JOHN KEY LITERALLY CHANGED LABOUR LAWS TO MAKE SURE PETER JACKSON WOULD FILM THE HOBBIT HERE

That was a good thing though?
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;39210733]That was a good thing though?[/QUOTE]
if you consider a movie being filmed here more important than protecting new zealand workers sure i guess it is
the movie does make us a lot of money and its not just one its 3 movies
yeah good point, gotta keep stackin that tourism money, who cares about new zealanders it's foreigners with all the money
[editline]14th January 2013[/editline]
the hobbit was a good movie though i'm looking forward to the next ones
