I'm sorry that even though we tried hard, the country isn't quite ready to dump her yet. We are 49-50 divided on the whole issue (which is not as bad as Canada, but far worse than you).
Day by day, Dear Helen is becoming an embarrassment for NZ.
A contestant from New Zealand on Australian 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' answered the question 'in which decade of the 20th Century was television introduced in Australia' with a snide smile and the comment 'I'm tempted to answer IN THE TWENTYFIRST' and then he wriggled and giggled on the stool like a girl...
A young woman trying on a dress in my boutique several years ago made the comment 'it's a beautiful dress, I love it, but I refuse to buy anything priced in Australian dollars, you are simply ripping us New Zealanders off...'
I sense there's a malaise of victimhood in NZ that goes back a long way and it's being successfully exploited.
