I wonder how you would get on, say, if you were transported to a foreign country, where you didn't speak the language, or understood the values or mores or social rules. I wonder how long it would be till you were being taken advantage of...
Btw, you might try one of Paul Moon's books. Easy to read, extremely well researched, and illuminating.
Even amusing in parts...
You have to wonder if perhaps those doing the complaining have lived elsewhere till recently or are somehow completely unaware of NZ (& other places)  history, & what they might think the system has been based on, if not exactly that.
Though not of course in quite the way they mean.
