The history of Catholic journalism in New Zealand is in effect the history of the "New Zealand Tablet," founded by the late Bishop Moran in 1873, the Catholics of this country having followed the principle that it is better to be represented by one strong paper than to have a multiplicity of publications.

 Travel: New Zealand
New Zealand consists chiefly of two main parts, known respectively as the North and South Islands, though quite commonly the latter is called Middle Island, out of respect for a small one which lies still south of the principal body, and which is also called South, or Stewart's Island.
The population of New Zealand, in 1900, exclusive of aborigines, was somewhat over seven hundred thousand, and these are, with but few exceptions, the immediate descendants of those who came from Great Britain.
The history of New Zealand and of its occupation by Europeans is in many respects a repetition, on a small scale, of the transformation of the United States from a land of wild ness and savagery to a country of prosperous civilization.

 Megalithic New Zealand part 1
New Zealand archaeologists and historians, when confronted with dissenting points of view that challenge their official, sanitised and "politically correct" version of regional history, generally respond with a standard, "off the shelf", comment: If anyone was here before the Maoris then where's the proof?
It persisted, however, in New Zealand as the predominantly important symbol and evidence would suggest that successive New Zealand populations retained pure, Megalithic Age cultural idiosyncrasies until recent centuries.

 New Zealand Visit
It is only fair to New Zealand, however, to add that the average summer, beginning in December, is at worst very much warmer and pleasanter than the English spring or winter, and at best, a season of real delight.
Whatever the cause may be, the result is that the fresh-air system is in full swing in nearly all the New Zealand thermal resorts; that doors and windows are always open, paths take the place of passages, and everybody acquires the complexion of a milkmaid and the appetite of a second-mate.

David Zwartz, the president of New Zealand's Jewish Council, said the attacks had taken place in a climate of "government-sanctioned anti-Israelism" after the trial.
