ABC News Australia is reporting that Prince William is not very popular in New Zealand:
Only about a dozen people turned up this morning to see Prince William fly into Auckland.
The small crowd displeased one Australian television crew so much, it decided to make up its own signs and hand them out.
A reporter from Channel Nine’s Today show was asked by her bosses to find some fans holding signs.
When she couldn’t, the reporter says she was told by the studio in Sydney to “make some up herself”.
The Channel Nine reporter wrote signs in pen saying “I love William” and gave them to a small group of women.
The reporter then did a live cross in front of the signs but did not mention they were her own creation.
The sooner we ditch the dinosaurs of the past and move into being an independent state of a greater republic of Australia the better. We have been foreign policy and trade independent for many years now. Many United Kingdomers consider themselves more part of Europe than part of the Commonwealth as we consider ourselves more part of the Pacific and sometimes South East Asia than any part of some former fallen empire.
