Occupy Wellington comes to New Zealand

October 16, 2011

Interestingly, the US has the widest discrepancy between the haves and the have nots of any developed country, the top 1% control 30% of the wealth, Sweden is next with 1% controlling 18% of the wealth, New Zealand is next with 1% controlling 16% of the wealth. Here are some shots from occupy Wellington.

Went to see the NZ All Blacks play Canada in the Rugby World Cup tonight. NZ is ranked #1 in the world in rugby and the World Cup is on home soil so there is a lot of pressure for them to win it all. They didn't have any problem with Canada tonight, but the knockout rounds are coming up. One of the photos is of Ma'a Nonu, a star of the team who didn't play tonight but happened to sit behind us.
