Before 2012 anyone with enough cash could get a passport as well as buy land in NZ. And many did, small plots big enough to hold a house or one with an existing house on it. Fairly sure this was stopped after James Cameron (Avatard) bought up a massive amount of land (10,000+ acres). That got the attention of the Kiwis. But before that, who knows how many others bought safe spaces down there? These would all be high asset individuals working within the system of a very small population. There is no question that collectively or even individually they could influence legislation, decrees, & mandates. They would have that much power behind the scenes to do so. And they are likely influenced by those outside of NZ borders. Same old story, infiltrate, subvert, & take over.

NZ definitely seemed like an escape location probably tunnels connecting it to Antarctica or something wild.
