Are you talking about the same New Zealand that literally has a government position called Chief Censor? The same New Zealand that tried to censor sites after the attacks? The same New Zealand that then went on to push for weakening free speech protections online?[0] New Zealand is at the bottom of the list for me when I consider western countries that protect free speech.
