Episode 7: Is NZ the 2nd most DANGEROUS country in the world?!

So my first point, round one, ding ding, is that New Zealand is on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Everyone knows this is a really dangerous section of the Earth where plates come together.

We have volcanoes.

We have the longest straight line earthquake fault line on the planet, the Alpine Fault.

You can see it from space.

We've got topor.

It has created super eruptions in the past that have caused massive mayhem worldwide.

I can just keep going on.

This statement came after a magnitude 5.9 earthquake.

We've had bigger earthquakes in the past.

It's dangerous where we live.

Alistair, I think the first thing that actually comes to mind with your argument is like it's all about likelihood as well.

You know, so you're talking about these

events

all around the Pacific Ring of Fire.

So we look at our volcanic eruptions, but really like how frequently do we have a volcanic eruption and how frequently do we have a damaging earthquake that, you know, people actually like, die in and so i think likelihood is a really important aspect of that in terms of how likely are we to die on a day-to-day basis in terms of like uh how do we live in a dangerous country

Yeah, is that massive super eruption going to kill me, but is it actually going to happen? I see what you're trying to say there.

Right, what's your first point then, Kate?

Okay, my first point is if we were to look at global safety metrics, New Zealand ranks as the second safest place in the world for security at home, like low violent crime.

And also like geopolitical peace as well.

So we're actually a relatively safe nation away from, you know, quite a lot of the geopolitical turmoil.

Me again with not being able to pronounce words.

Across the world at the moment.

You know, we've got, there's wars going on right now, Alistair.

and we're so far away from it in a way although we are like definitely an internet connected i guess global network for sure
