An Australian living in New Zealand.

The New Zealand Elections have come and gone and the change we have gotten is about as significant as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

On election review night, a blogger was quoted as saying that New Zealand has voted for change, but had chosen a change that was completely the opposite of progressive governments worldwide - including the US. The blogger was lamenting that in the face of changes made available by the internet of personal empowerment and new options for business and individuals, that the only change that New Zealanders could come up with was a centre right government.
