    I can imagine the (stupid) headlines:

    "New Zealand causes drug prices to spike!"

    "New Zealand considers entering _this_ controversial industry -- for free!"

    Questionable headlines aside, I'll be interested on finding out what exactly the cocaine was doing _there_. 300 million means something like $50 worth of
    cocaine for every person, so I'm guessing the smugglers had plans for it going further.

    I didn't hear about this! Weird that it's on Fox news but as far as I know,
    not on NZ news!

    I think the World Elites want everyone to eventually fight so they get the global population down like he want. WWIII.

    I think it made Stuff or RNZ from memory... to be honest it wasn't high on my radar either...
