Given the American news today I looked up the last execution in NZ, which I discover was in 1957, and it's possible the man didn't murder his wife by poisoning her, but that their farm's water supply had been adulterated by sheep dip. What an extremely on brand mid-century NZ thing to have occurred

Anyway the death penalty is terrible and no good comes of it

There's a historical plaque thingy on a bridge in hamilton talking about one of hamilton's early settlers and what they did. I don't even remember the person's name, because the only item of interest on the plaque that I *can* remember is him drowning in a vat of beer.

But Stop Three Waters tho
