I fear that this is going to be nasty :(

To the Kiwis out there, I don't think I am going too far when I say that you, your country, and your Prime minister, have earned our respect, our solidarity, and our love, for how your country has behaved and presented itself over these last few days.

It's not that these were lacking beforehand, but how you've dealt with this tragedy has been magnificent, and has provided us all with an example to follow.

As a New Zealander, I have thus far refrained from any comment on this matter. Sometimes it is better to process in silence. I too am proud of our Prime Minister and also of the unity the New Zealand people are demonstrating in their actions following this tragedy.

Thank you.
