I would rather see VA continue and return as a simpler version of itself, which is where I think they were trying to head under thier new leadership.
Technically that's not true, they haven't been bailed out. They've been provided with capital/loan by the government. They were profitable before this and would have continued to be. As good a fit as NZ would be I doubt it'll happen because I don't see a Kiwi government saying "Hold on, we just extended you a loan and you want to have another crack at the AU market again..."
