Default Ozzie Kiwi Relations

I've just been asked by a work colleague what the score is between Australians and New Zealanders. In other words, what sort of relationship the two nations have.

Any thoughts?

Paul.

Similar to the Scots v English i found. Kiwis being a much smaller fish constantly strive to get one over on the Aussies at sport, but generally its lighthearted, and they will always stick together in a fight against the rest!!

Exactly that I would have said. My boss (my whole company in fact) is Kiwi. Bit of a friendly bet going on in the office recently when the cricket was on, all very laidback and friendly.

Australia recently tried annexing a large chunk of NZ and Indonesia into its security zone. OOOppps. Funnily enough the Indonesians and Kiwis didn't think it was too funny.

Other than that Aussies and Kiwis just take the piss out of each other.
