Let me clear it up before the jokes turn into news headlines. Nobody bought any land. It was all in jest. New Zealand doesn't even allow that kind of land ownership for non-citizens.
Please don't take humour so seriously, especially when Kannappa is around the corner and we're all in high spirits! Now smile, laugh a little, and don't turn comedy into something else 😁 #KannappaOnJune27.
