  4. So does the present government still have diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia or not?

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46049204

    Do the UK, France, Germany and others maintain relationships with a murderous, quasi Al Qaeda compliant or near that regime, that hates human rights?

    Let me know, you can claim a high ground on a Czech national who fell out with the law, but at the same time uphold ties with murderous a regime, that is legit, right?

    NZ is a corrupt SHIT COUNTRY, and I know it and few Kiwis dare admit it.
