Envelopes were sent to two NZ media outlets today containing a white substance and a single piece of paper with the word “anthrax” helpfully written on it. The outlets were TVNZ, our state broadcasting provider and the most dominant force in our media, and, er, Greenstone Pictures, a who make a reality programme about Auckland zoo and popular Maori TV staple “Ask Your Auntie”.
This country is very weird sometimes.
(Hypothesis: someone got pinged for bad driving on Motorway Patrol and decided to send fake anthrax to the broadcasters AND the production company!)
