Chances are he worked hard to get into that position. Just generalizing here, but NZ is rife with people sitting on their arses waiting to get 'lucky'.

It amazes me how many of these threads I've seen lately, only topped by the amount of incorrect information and generalisations in them.

Jim2 - I suspect NZ'rs will get a lot more interested after the Dairy wars of 2011

If you don't know the guy - might be worthwhile looking here.
Unfortunately he passed away on the February the 7th last year.
