"an era of relative stability"
You know, you could have saved us both a lot of work if you'd said that to begin with :-)bored to huh?

and yet the legislation ushered in an era or relative stability;
1961-1971=1733-3347
1971-1981=3347-8590
1981-1991=8590-9152 -

I think it's a question of economics. How muh did the production of that German TV show bring in to the NZ economy, how many overseas students pick NZ as their ideal study location due to the boy racer culture, and how welldo these lads keep the wheels of the auto upgrades industry spinning. The notion of crushing up good cars, implies that police aren't short of funding. economic crunch my ass.

it wasn't actually the government who instructed the baby boomers to start divorcing en mass.
Who says they are divorcing en masse, Mark? Marriage survival rates have been virtually unchanged for the last 30 years;
hmmm, which generation? not the baby boomers? not the baby boomers causng a divorce peak in 1981. They weren't the genration that began divorcing on mass. You're quite right, in fact it was aboriginal people of Australia who nudged up that NZ divorce rate in the early eighties.
really...plus the increase in illiteracy amongst the middle classes.

re: that article blamming the wimmin Deep Red, I felt the authr briefly had some kind of a point about the spaying of the family
So politicians have spotted a vote winning opportunity: we’ll do the job of the parents.
Encouraged by the supine complicity – or, in the weird case of some publications, a cheerleading press – the ruling political class has seen fit to barge into our homes and tell our children how to behave without ever asking us.
before diving off to underworld.
The breakdown of the family does play a huge role in this kind of stuff, but I find the anti governmental jibes wear a little thin, especially in light of the fact that it wasn't actually the government who instructed the baby boomers to start divorcing en mass. -

A paragraph missing from the net version of this article beings;
"Zhang is right in the midst of the Beijing scene. He lived in New Zealand from the age of 15 until his early twenties, and became heavily involved in the rampant illegal racing scene, appearing in court four times for dangerous driving. When he returned to China, he was good enough to get a racing licence and briefly raced professionally"
