Being a little country our international infrastructure does not have a great depth. Case in point being a couple of weeks ago when a farmer decided to do some digging on his farm and took out the only pipeline which brings aviation fuel from the Marsden Point refinery to the rest of the country. This meant that international flights were severely curtailed. On one of those flights was my latest package containing my Napoleonic/18th century purchases. Anyway....2 weeks late they are safe on my book shelf.

ReplyDeleteJust wow. Unimaginable.
I guess we Yanks will know how to take out NZ's infrastructure when the inevitable imperialist invasion occurs.
