James Cameron Bought the Farm

James Cameron Bought the Farm

In New Zealand! And how's this for a welcome from "New Zealand First" leader Winston Peters: "'To reside in New Zealand indefinitely, well, what does that mean? Full-time, part-time? ... If someone was coming to live in New Zealand and become a New Zealander, that is a different matter.' Mr Peters criticised the decision as typical of the 'stupidity' of the Government and the 'rubber-stamp merchants' at the OIO. 'If [the applicant] was bringing some expertise to expand this country's export wealth, particularly if it was land to be developed, or better utilised, that would be a different matter.'" Seriously! It's not like Avatar sequels grow on trees. [NZ Herald]
