 City Journal Spring 1998 | What Causes Crime? by Theodore Dalrymple
The most prominent New Zealand case now undergoing exculpatory reinterpretation is that of a woman called Gay Oakes, currently serving a life sentence for the murder of her common-law husband, Doug Garden, father of four of her six children.
This is the woman whom we (and the New Zealand courts) are seriously invited to believe is a helpless victim, a woman who, though not mentally deficient, seems never once in her life to have thought more than ten minutes ahead, even about such matters as bringing a child into the world.
A New Zealand court has given credence to accusations that even the Spanish Inquisition might have found preposterous, a sign oddly enough of how far the courts have come under the influence of the bien-pensants, and how much they fear their censure and crave their approbation.

July 25 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealanders are debating whether to change the South Pacific country's flag, removing references to its past as a British colony and adopting a symbol that represents the national identity.

The answer is that by means unknown to me the folk scene in New Zealand discovered the Irish music revival of the 1960's and 70's and many of the great albums of this period were to be found in homes around the country.
