- Description
A man and a woman sit watching television and reading the newspaper. The man comments that now they are squabbling about republicanism and the woman sees that as a diversion from the real issues until the World Cup. Refers to Green Party MP Keith Locke's Head of State Referenda Bill which would send New Zealanders to the polls to decide whether or not to retain the status quo with a British monarch as head of state or move to a New Zealand head of state selected by a democratic process. The bill, which is expected to reach Parliament in March, will have enough support that only two National or ACT Party MPs will have to add their backing for it to pass. The World Cup is to be held in Auckland in 2011 and there seem to be squabbles over designs and finance that makes them far from ready as yet.
