Definitely proud to be a Kiwi, with all the support fellow kiwis are giving. :hard:
From what i can see, things don't happen as quickly (or at all) in the USA because almost everyone has a finger in the pie, which severely increases the chance that a few groups will say no to whatever is proposed. Not gonna name names, because i don't like getting into political crap (it brings out the worst in people, i've even blocked feeds from close friends on Facebook because they have something to say on every government decision).
