A COMPLIMENT TO NEW ZEALAND. “The Australian visitor is also impressed with the honesty of New Zealand, and again the contrast is not in our favour, with our ever-increasing list of robberies and burglaries. If, as some say, the price paid is an aloofness from the outside world, and its throbbing life, it is well worth it. A further impression is the universal politeness of the people. This is most marked, perhaps, on the roads. Whereas, Australian motorists are becoming more and more noted for their determination to keep the crown of the road against all-comers (or overtakers), the New Zealand motorist never seems to forget that others beside himself are road-users. In other words, no one can be in New Zealand for long without realising that it is a land of great traditions. Where Hiese come from it is hard to say. It may be because of the blood shed in wars of great chivalry with Maoris.” Dr Cranswick, Bishop of Gippsland, in a speech to his clergy on his return from a visit to New Zealand.
