    Dumbo statistics, many of which have been debunked extensively, especially the "homeless" nonsense.

    For example child poverty... OECD has NZ bank on the OECD average: http://www.oecd.org/els/CO_2_2_Child_Poverty.pdf

    Whereas this unattributed article has NZ child poverty at "the bottom of the developed world".

    Or homelessness. For NZ this means people living with friends, or in temporary accommodation etc. Most other countries count living rough as homeless. For instance, Auckland's 24,000 "homeless" comprises less than 800 souls living rough. Yet lefty
    idiots love to compare our "homeless" stats against foreign rough sleeper stats.

    Cancer rates? FFS is it our fault we and Australia have the strongest UV exposure in the world?

    Hard to say, but I suspect the dumbness increases as you descend down the regurgitation chain of those statistics.
