a little satire

The Navy intercepted a boatload of people off the coast of Cape Reinga today.

This placed the Navy in an awkward position, as the boat was not heading to New Zealand, but towards Asia.

Another surprise finding was the people were white Kiwi seniors of pensionable age. Their claim was that they were trying to get to Asia because they wanted to return to NZ as illegal immigrants. Then they would be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate New Zealand pensioners.

It is believed the Navy gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey.
