Kiwi's wanting to move to OZ.
Quite a few Kiwi's who live near us with families are trying to , thinking of or wanting to move to OZ
Why:
Better life style
Better Weather
More money
Better prospects for the kids
Better Shops, schools etc.
Sounds familiar to why alot of people want to move here from the UK.
Do Australians think the same about NZ?

The Aussies that I know who work in NZ (for the company I work for) hate it. They find the superiority complex is not too popular amongst Kiwis.

I asked on that forum once if anyone there didn't like living in NZ - there were many responses but from memory everybody said they liked it.

Parochialism is rife here and as you pointed out before Kiwis can be just as guilty.

Anyway I cant wait to get out of here as well. Im sick of the whole system of screwing those who work hard to get somewhere when tax $ are poured into those who want something for nothing.
NZ is a beautiful place but its being stuffed up completely by a bunch of labour liberal commie politicians. Recent poll here placed politicians last on the list of most repected professions.
recent news - interst rates went up .25% yesterday and expected to go up another .75% by end of year, 300 schools to close, Govt petrol tax of another 5c per litre to kick in soon (1.10 at present).
I dont find Aussies have a superiority complex any more than Brits have one. I think Brits can be stroppy and never short of confidance and Aussies can have big egos and be a bit crude but thats Ok. Were still all related.

The labour Govt here is a bunch of Commies, the future for my kids looks bleak here, there is racial disharmony and resentment is growing, billions of tax money is poured into the Treaty Gravy train. The ones who have it made here are; the long term unemployed, terrorists, boat people, asylum seakers, refugees, criminals, Maori activists, layers on the treaty gravy train.

When you see the liberal vomit pouring forth from the mouth of the Labour govt year after year you can get so sick of it the best thing for everyone is to leave. Polys gave themselves a pay rise the other day - 15% - everyone else in the country got 2 -3%
Plus the money over here is lower than a snakes backside.
I would like better for my Kids.
Bondi Pom asked where I was going to get away from the Red peril. Howards not a commie is he?

I agree with everything Graham has said. Go search out one of NZs most infamous MPs, Nandos Tanchos... a rastafarian, 30 something skateboarder, who is a self confessed dope smoker.
Now... i have no porblem with anyone being any of the (apart form drugs which i hate) but how can you be taken seriously in the halls of government ??
