>Yet New Zealand consistently tops Cato Institute's freedom index.
Well I'm sure those who got arrested for sharing the Christchurch footage (footage that was, btw, widely available and shared worldwide) will be happy to hear that. They may be in jail but at least the Cato institute declared that they were still living in a country that tops their index. An index that hasn't even changed or taken in consideration the extreme drift towards authoritarianism that we have seen in the 2020.
