Of course, once countries like America take up the idea, I'm sure it will turn into a big WWF-style spectacle in which the CEOs of rival companies get the lycra on and go up against each other in front of an audience of thousands.

New Zealand was also the first country to extend the vote to women (1891), and had one of the first modern social welfare systems. I didn't know about the workers' compensation thing, they didn't mention that when I was at school. Or if they did, I wasn't listening. That's interesting.
