Cancellation of Rugby in New Zealand

If there is one thing New Zealanders love, it's their rugby. If the 2011 rugby world cup wasn't evidence enough then what is?
But a woman, who's name is yet to be known, has asked for the cancellation of Rugby due to ACC paying over $100,000 to people with rugby related injuries.
As many people know a contact sport like rugby is bound to have injuries what with people getting tackled to the ground and all but my own mother who is partially paralyzed was being paid by ACC since she couldn't return to work but they decide to cut her off despite the fact she still has to take four different pain killers such as morphine, sevredol and Tramadol and still has no feeling in her right foot. If you ask me, ACC has a lot to answer for with this one.
But it brings a bigger issue with New Zealand, Current prime minister John Key has been trying to pass the spy bill that allows America to spy on New Zealand. Why would America have to spy on New Zealand in the first place?
We are the only country that doesn't use nuclear weapons or power, we don't start any wars with other countries and it's not like we got secret base where we work with Al Qaeda on secret missions. So why let America spy on New Zealand?

Does this mean that the rugby cancellation is just a distraction to keep everyone from knowing about the spy bill or is there some giant conspiracy theory that is going to involve both America and New Zealand?
The answers are unclear but I want to hear your answers. Leave a comment if you have an answer you aren't afraid to say and I'll put up my next post tomorrow involving the greatest world premiere to teenage girls.
