If New Zealanders were all as happy and 'friendly' as they all make out they are then they wouldn't feel a need to do this would they.

It's another thing I always hear from NZers, 'we are a friendlier and nicer country than Australians we are amongst the friendliest people in the world'. What a load of nonsense. They're no more friendly a nation of people than anywhere else.

On the surface they are friendly enough but very hard to get to actually know them and make a friend of them. Very "two-faced" aswell. I've seen so many times Kiwis be so nice to someone that I've taken to be friends of theirs, to really slag them off behind their backs.I know that can happen everywhere but never seen it like here.Not very 'open'. Rarely actually speak their minds.

Isn't that exactly what you've been doing to NZ to try and make Australia look better. Never throw stones from a glasshouse.

i've always been confused by this 100% PURE CLEAN GREEN NEW ZEALAND tag line because I can't find where the NZ govt. use it.
I've seen/heard the '100% PURE' line, but thats not the same and is very clever marketing...... anyone with 1/2 a brain knows NZ s not clean, same way as we know not all Australians swear. Its a shame all you Sheilas and Bruces can't geet your heeds around eet.

I can only conclude from this that all New Zealanders have less than half a brain.

Well the ones whether they are Kiwi or not over on the New zealand forum are not doing themselves any favours....we are not allowed to bag out New Zealand in any sense-I have told many times how much I like it, but would you like to read what has been said about Australia!

Great stuff - the Royal New Zealand Airforce is now called New Zealand Air.

janek

only the ones that move to Australia

Amazulu

So half of New Zealand then.

No worries bro!

The last Kiwi out of 3rd world New Zealand swutch off the lights......

janek

Ah half of NZ does not live in Aust. The sweetch the lights of jokes are so stale they are boring, New Zealand has been raising the IQ of Australians since the 70's when the sweetch the lights of jokes first began. this is 2010. Come up with sometheeng a bit more exceeting pleeese.

Amazulu

Okay, maybe not half but a quarter then - all being replaced by Afghan and Iraqi asylum seekers bro! That stupid woman (man? shemale?) who was your previous PM and her socialist government have a lot to answer for.

I think the best Kiwis have already left judging by the standard of your written English.

I know a lot of New Zealanders, both here and from when I lived in London.

All of them speak glowingly about how wonderful New Zealand is.

None of them choose to live there.

Most of them have no plans to live there. Ever.

It is really bizarre when you hear so much hatred and venom coming from over there constantly, they are one of the most Anti-Australian nations on earth if you believe their diatribe, and yet they are flocking over here in ridiculous numbers, most of them to live permanently. It defies all logic.

How can a country that appears to be so proud and defensive about their nation and its people be so quick to desert this country and join the 'enemy'. Logic would tell you they mustn't be as proud of their country as they make out.

Also, if NZ is so much better than Aus, why aren't Australians flocking over there to live. We have the same immigration concessions over there as they do over here yet hardly any of us move over there (or anywhere else for that matter). To most Australians, moving to NZ would amount to moving somewhere remote and isolated with hostile natives and nothing much to offer. Obviously Australia has a lot to offer NZers as it is almost like a great pot of gold over the other side of the rainbow when you consider the net migration rates between the two countries.

I know it's all been said before over and over again but seriously, NZ mustn't be that great a country after all.

Actually the immigration deal is much better for Australians. Even holders of Australian PR who are not yet citizens get PR automatically in NZ (yes folks, all of you Oz PR holders can flit across the Tasman right now and live there for ever - don't get trampled in the rush!).

Whereas even NZ citizens only get temporary residency in Australia, albeit a sort of perpetual temporary residency.
