    NZ does not have a high number of existing public holidays. Would it be less or more populist if we ditched the holiday for our foreign Queen and replaced it with Matariki?

    Would our Head of State actually be allowed to visit Her realm at the moment? She would not be a returning NZer.

    Probably less popular, but a dam site more sensible and fairer to employers.

    But Balance....it's going to be so good for business that they're going to delay it for a year because it's tough on business. The logic of Cindy.

    When you think about it....she's not left with much.

    She had better keep up the dental care or she may end up with this guy's oral health problems
