	Postal 2 banned in New Zealand - PC News at GameSpot
		Posted Nov 29, 2004 6:19 pm PT New Zealand's Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC), a government body "responsible for classifying publications that may need to be restricted or banned," today concluded a one-year investigation into developer Running With Scissors' 2003 action shooter, Postal 2.
		In a statement, the OFLC said, "The game is designed, and has the capacity, to allow the player to test how much violence and humiliation he or she can inflict on human beings." For that and other reasons, the government body slapped a ban on the game.
		Condition Zero's release is overshadowed by no fewer than three new technologically advanced, highly anticipated shooters, which all cast a harsh light on what is essentially a 6-year-old game--albeit a classic one.

	UK Indymedia - Migrant Workers Strike against Poverty Wages and WTO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		“New Zealand’s minimum wage is only NZ$9.50 for those 18 and over, $7.60 for 16 and 17 years old and there is no legal minimum for those under 16.
		Anti-union laws which deunionised most workers in the private sector led to wages dropping in New Zealand by 6.5% between 1980-2001 whilst they rose by 28.8% in Australia, 39.5% in Canada, 59.9% in UK and 68.2% Finland.
		Fast food workers are fighting for wages and conditions that are only a fraction of what was lost when the neo-liberal policies promoted by the WTO were introduced with vigour in New Zealand during the 1980’s,” he said.

	New Zealand complaint targets Microsoft \| CNET News.com
		A New Zealand company has filed a complaint against Microsoft, alleging that a subscription-like software-licensing program violates that country's laws.
		Among other problems, the new program leads to price increases, according to the complaint, and eliminates the "presumptive right of loyalty program discounts on upgrades." The complaint asks the commission to examine whether it has the power and the grounds to control Microsoft's behavior with regard to the program.
		Microsoft, though, says the program violates no New Zealand law and is similar to programs from other software manufacturers.
