The bomb diggity... Home of L&P, V, the Buzzy Bee, Footrot Flats, Jandals, Pavlova, Tip Top ice cream, Fish and Chips, Maketu Pies, Swandris, Paua Shell jewellery, the Silver Fern, beautiful scenery, gazillions of Sheep, Peter Jackson, LOTR, and all the best sportspeople and musicians. Because of this, a lot of jealous Aussie bastards have claimed 'ownership' of true-blue Kiwi icons, such as Uncle Pete and the Pav.

Aussie: "NZ sucks" NZer: "What would you know, you kangaroo-fucking outback drongo"

woah... new zealand is a great country\! heaps of aussies love new zealand i don't know why people think we hate new zealand i think it is a beautiful country. infact, i have actually never come accross a person in australia who has shown hatred towards nz. actually, more people in new zealand have a hatred towards australia because they think we have a hatred towards new zealand. so chill out dude\! you would be lucky to come accross someone who disliked nz. i think nz rocks.

New Zealand is a pretty awesome country. Why is Australia being mentioned so much when these definitions are about NZ? *confused* I guess it's because we're close, yes that's right... we are close enough that we might as well join together to be one country \{If it wasn't for you people getting really crazy over what country is better\} Both Australia and New Zealand have their good point and their bad points :) So chill, people- PS- Sheep Sex? That's just wrong... beastiality is so wrong... ****ANZAC****

--New Zealand and Australia would both be stronger if the people of both contries worked together--

A pretty darn groovy country which by reputation pushes well above it's weight. Rolling green hills,vast golden beaches ,dramatic volcanic plateau(sp?), snow capped mountains, majestic rainforests, towering fiords-New Zealand personifies diversity, both in appearance and communtity, with a fine mix of Maori (indigenous people), Pakeha( White people), Pacific islanders and and many more. People are reputedly amoungst the freindliest in the world and as said the lifestyle easy very chilled-although it has to be said the stereotype of kiwis being backwards is a complete myth. As a nation we're thoroughly commited, hard working, open minded and optimistic. Yes, we have a habit of travelling and extending our OE as it were but in hindsight we're not the bad Tis also known to be the neighbour of Australia, and contrary to all the crap posted on this page, the anzac alliance still holds strong yet some people take this 'freindly squabbling' to extremities. Kia Ora

Being a kiwi ain't so bad infact it aint so bad at all.....I love New Zealand PS: Keep supporting the Allblacks\!

A pretty cool country, I don't see why Australians diss New Zealander and why New Zealanders diss Australians. I'm Australian and our countrys are so close can't we just get along? p.s. New Zealander's don't fuck sheep and Tasmainian's (state in Australia) aren't inbred who ever say this can go fuck themselves.

just like anonymous said before me ANZACs FOR LIFE

a pretty cool country or so i hear near my country australia. Why does everyone from nz and usa on this site have 2 be so mean 2 us?\! I think the kiwi accent is cool. A lot of people here say that kiwis fuck sheep but we also say that tasmania is the land of the inbreds and thats part of our own country so it's not like we take it that seriously. Whoever was bragging about peter jackson being from nz peter jackson is a bit of a scrubbo but he's a cool one so we'll give u him and russell crowe but russell crowe is just plain weird. I don't have anything against any country i just get angry at all the people who attack everyone elses countries wen they really don't know anything about it. Like america got a raw deal and people aren't too nice to us aussies either we aren't racist\!\!

New zealand is cool ANZAC for life\!\!

A land of beauty in the South Pacific. New Zealand is without an army but it does not need one for they are not pissing off everyone with their arrogance. It's people are generally more laid back than Aussies although they are pretty laid back also most of the time. One more thing New Zealand is still to get over it's cultural cringe which is causing this "hatred" towards Australians.

New Zealand is still beautiful.

14. (new zealand) (100↑, 48↓)
A small country 2200km from Australia, it is made up of two relitvaly large islands that are split by a narrow channel. The inhabitants of this island seem to have a deep seated hatred for Australians (C'mon Kiwis, we all ANZAC's here, craka please.), possibly because Australia seems to have claimed Russel crowe as their own.

I don't think all New zealanders shag sheep or say Fush and chups, but watch me quickly pull out these things when we verse em' at footy.

Defending my country..... Whingeing bitches?...everyone whinges. Hate Australia?..nah we dont hate you dont worry..just a bit of friendly rivalry like Canada and the U.S.A. Why do SOME of us move to aussie?..to get away from helen fuckin clark\!\!\!\!\!\!..better oppitunities..beleive me you dont know what he/she is like. Shes fucking up our country. Bash Australia?..you said that before/after you took the piss out of New Zealand\!\! Sheep shaggers?..just coz we have 40 million sheep doesnt mean we shag them thats just wrong. Whats with aussies and sheep jokes anyway? Watch all your TV shows? You mean that dramatic aussie bullshit? Theres only about 2 shows like home and away and neighbours\! no one even watches that shit. Wear your clothes? nah sorry to burst your bubble but most of our clothes are from china\! lol..cheap crap. Listen to your music? what music? Poor? Fuck no..NZ and aussie are among the richest nations. Australia is 10 times more beautiful? have you even been to NZ? Ask any tourist..theyll say NZ\! Richer and more powerful than NZ? Take a look at how big you are\! your like more than 3 times bigger and 5 times our population\! Hell of alot nicer?..wow looking at your text above i would not say your nicer and more laid back\! Spiteful, envious, backward? haha what a joke. NZ is gorgeous and is far more more attractive compared to Australia having desert with a big rock in the middle of it. We dont even think your better than us and we dont think we are better than you\! grow up its so bloody childish. I dont know anyone who wishes they were an aussie so dont flatter yourself. I really like my accent too. You rip us in sports? Oh you mean the cricket?? i enjoyed watching the poms kick your ass\!\!\! hahahahahahaha. And how about rugby... we are the best in the world, how do you explain the wallabies ay? theyre pathetic. We are the worlds most generous country, when a countrys in need we help them, because we can and i think thats something to be proud of. I dont mind australians, i just really hate it when you sling shit at us. We are all people, except from different pieces of land. Why cant we just get along with each other, is that so hard to do? NZ is proud, with our own voice, our own identity. Clean green New Zealand. I suggest everyone visits\! Have a nice day ****Peace****

I love New Zealand\!

Kia ora (hello) Name: New Zealand or Aotearoa. Population: 4 million Capital: Wellington Currency: NZD or New Zealand Dollar Official Languages: English and Maori Ethnic Makeup: European-77%, Maori-12%, Pacific Islanders-5%, Other-6% The Maori imigrated from Polynesia about 1200 years ago. The most beautiful, safe country in the world who have a neat national anthem and an excellent rugby team commonly known as the ALL BLACKS. It is a misconception that we 'hate' Aussies. We do not hate Aussies nor do they hate Kiwis. We are neighbours. Aussies are the familliar to us in our little country separated from the rest of the world. ;) New Zealand happy things include, stubbies (short shorts), jandals, bbq's, rugby, beaches, buzzy bee toys\!, pavalova, icecreams, L&P (yum), No.8 Wire, and pineapple lumps. Most New Zealanders are friendly laid back folk who live for summer. And hey..we don't have accents, you do. ;) peace.

"love thy neighbour" "Kia ora, tamariki ma"-phrase most of us learn in primary school meaning "goodmorning children" I liked this quote that I found on someone elses definition "With all the shit going on in the world today, sometimes I just wanna go live in New Zealand" You got it\!

A beautiful country in the South Pacific a respected country that should not hate Australians and in turn Australians should not hate New Zealand our two nations are supposed to be allies, Ansett and underarm bowling be damned. They have fought on Australia's side. I for one am glad that some of the more childish definitions have been removed and we can start reading some proper stuff. In conclusion many Aussies out there think NZ rocks. Trust me.

Australian New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) still does apply.

Yeshitsme I couldn't agree more with the sentiments "New Zealand is a country with beautiful scenery and a lot of good hearted people, keep up the good work New Zealand". I think the same can be said for most Australians, although Oz has different beauty to NZ naturally, but both of them generally are great countries, with a positive future.

I love New Zealand, not every single thing but most things about New Zealand.

Kind sir, as it happens, I'm a Canadian myself, and many Canadians I know, are quite fond of Kiwis and of New Zealand. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't we in Canada living under America's shadow, (although this is a very mature and fine nation albeit not home to some of the best people). I do agree however that New Zealand is suffering from a higher instance, "little brother syndrome" all right? A lot like us at one point although we are overcoming it. New Zealand also suffers from a "cultural cringe" and yes is far from perfect, but as opposed to a low economy, NZ is actually doing relatively well, given it's isolation and what have you. I completely refute any reference to "sheep shagging" although to be fair, there are probably a minority of people in NZ who need to root them. And yes New Zealand lacks confidence in itself point taken, and there is a lot of catching up to do in this area, but there was a time when Canada lacked confidence in itself and some would argue, still do. Have a good day\! Paul

New Zealand is a great country in most ways whom many Canadians love dearly.

Why is Australia being mentioned with so many New Zealand definitions? because many a farmer in New Zealand are jealous of Australias riches, but if they would only look up.. to Auckland or Wellington, they would see that we are rich too. And for the uknowledgables who think we live in Teepees.. we dont, we actually are home to the tallest tower in the Southern Hempisphere AND here in Auckland we're not treehugging green peace hippies we're just like anyone in a metropolis RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS and proud.. legit. stay cool NZ, peace out

Stupid unknowledgable farmboy: "haha you're from New Zealand you live in Teepees" Kiwi(term for a NZer): "actually you stupid unknowledgable, how the fuck would we use the internet if we lived in teepees, get a haircut farmboy"

New Zealand is a country of four million people that was regarded as the world's social laboratory for the first half of the 20th century. It pioneered many social and political innovations, including universal suffrage, state pensions and social welfare. But visitors would visit and discover the NZers didn't really have much of a theory about what we were doing, and tended to be kind of smug an insular. Living standards were very, very high, but variety was elusive and, despite having the world's finest natural ingredients, tended to boil all food to death. By the early 170s, it was unravelling. We couldn't sell all our meat and wool to Briatin any more, oil shocks were crippling, national debt was astronomical and the economy was the most regulated in the western world. A disastrous cente-right government didn't act (but entrenched the problems) and it wasn't until a Labour government came in in 1984 and radically reformed the place along neo-liberal lines that things changed, as they had to. Unfortunately, unemployment soared, cowboys got hold of the markets and various other bad things happened. Two other things happened in the early 80s. One was the tour by the South African rugby team, the Springboks, which split the country down the middle, challenging the sanctity of the national game. Tens of thousands protested in the streets, got beat up by cops, etc. It was an ugly time and most NZers now regard the tour as having been A Bad Thing. We got over it. Another controversial but necessary event was the 1984 Labour government giving teeth to the tribunal that oversees the Treaty of Waitangi, the 1840 agreement between the British Crown and the native people, the Maori, which granted British subjects the right to live in NZ and saw the tribes swear allegiance to the Queen. Unfortunately, many of the rights and most of the property guaranteed in the Treaty were removed over the next 60 years, and the Maori predicament became worse with the drift to the citys. It was a simple matter of legal redress, which has been conducted without blood spilling in the streets, but it does remain a hot-button issue in politics. These days, NZ has a remarkably unregulated economy (Top 5, Heritage Foundation Freedom Index; no.1 country in the world to do business in according to the World Bank; reliable Top 3 placing in Transparency International's annual non-corruption index) but has never recovered the prosperity of the mid-20th century). This is a constant source of fretting and anxious comparisons with Australia. At one point recently, women held the posts of Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Solictor General and CEO of Telecom New Zealand. NZ women are staunch. Civil unions were passed into law last year and prostitution is legal and regulated; both on conscience votes in Parliament. The respective sides of the prostitution debate insist that things have either gotten better or worse since the law change. Social indicators vary. Child abuse rates, especially among Maori, are terrible, but there may also be more reporting going on here. Youth suicide rates are globally bad, but have been steadily falling. High incidence of petty property crimes, low incidence of sexual offending (compared to Australia, Us, UK, etc). For many years we were the world champion per-capita consumers of LSD, and we still like a toke. Methamphetamine (smoked as "P") has been a serious problem in recent years. New Zealanders, much as they ever have, function best at the apex of practicality and creativity. We're the roadies rather than the rock stars; and late, the directors rather than the movie stars. We still like rugby. But we eat and drink to a standard our parents never knew. Fresh food is remarkably good, the wine is sometimes sensational (and generally cheap) and you can get a decent coffee almost everywhere. New Zealanders are big on coffee (it's one of the things we hang out for away from home) and can't understand why no one else in the world makes our special coffee called a flat white. Schools have a great degree of self-governance than those in similar countries, and the best of them are excellent. NZ kids repeatedly feature at the top of world rankings for maths and literacy - unfortunately, there's also a largely non-white cohort that regularly features near the bottom of those rankings. We're not such an egalitarian place as we used to be. The land, sea and sky are wonderful. NZers have never been great church-goers, but most of us feel something mystical about the land, especially if we've been away from it. We get out and about a lot. Worst thing about New Zealand? Annoying whiners who blather on about "political correctness" but can never really say what they mean, and insist on making cringeing, unfavourable comparisons with Australia. But I guess we have to own them too. They have doubt. Doubt is what distinguishes New Zealanders from Australians. They're all brash and confident - they're also *way* more racist than New Zealanders, but we do like them anyway. Some of our best art, most notably that of Colin McCahon, is riven by doubt. And thus the greatest line ever uttered in a NZ movie (Goodbye Pork Pie - 1980?) is reproduced here (the characters were smoking pot on a road trip at the time): "There's only one thing certain in life, Blondini, and that's doubt .. I think."

Doubt is what distinguishes the inhabitants of New Zealand from those of Australia.

A beautiful country in the South Pacific next to Australia. There are some Kiwis, who think New Zealand is a crock of shit, and lay lots of it on New Zealand because they don't know what the real world's really like. I hope all Kiwis aren't like that as in all honesty New Zealand is a fantastic country in most ways.

A country made up of multiple island, mainly 2 large ones, and, yes, many too politically correct whingers\! New Zealand is NOT a democracy, by the way, and it has too many MPs, who are paid too much of taxpayers money so they can go skiing in Europe every winter and sunbathe in Tahiti every summer. It also has the highest rate of youth suicide and child abuse. The prime minister is commonly thought of as a female, but there are serious doubts about that...

Australia's close ally and friend. There are some Australians who seem to hate New Zealand for some reason and vice versa. Needs to stop. New Zealand is an entirely different country to Australia with entirely different political, economic, indigenous, demographic, and geostratgic differences to it's giant neighbour to the west. Either NE (New England) or the Northern Territory are that "new state" The Anzac bilateral relationship between the two of them has been strained over the years, thanks to the ANZUS treaty breaking up, lack of defence spending from the New Zealand government, airline collapses, this, that, OK OK it's time to move on from all that. What about the positives? I have said this a few times before but I think the issue here is Australia's *bucketloads* of confidence, and general comfort with itself. New Zealand, I'm afraid you will not find anywhere near as much of these qualities. Many Australians I know love New Zealand, so I am not bitching too much.

Australia-New Zealand bondage ANZAC lives on

New Zealand is awesome. We have lots of sheep in our country, more sheep than people, but this does not mean we fuck our sheep. That's like saying 'australians fuck their kangaroos'. Australians, may I add, think they are better than us because their country is ten times bigger than us. (I will leave the rest to you intelligent non-new zealanders to figure out) New Zealand is home to the first person in the world to climb [Mt. Everest], has a great tourism industry, as it is full of beautiful rolling green hills, as well as lovely forest filled with amazing native birds such as the kiwi and the tui, the air is really clean unlike some big cities in the USA and Australia which are filled with smog, also because it is small where ever you live you never are more than a two hours drive away from the ocean, and it also has a mountain ranges in the north and south island which are great for snow-sports in the winter. Of course the list goes on, but I would be typing for ever if I was to list all the reason why New Zealand is so brilliant. Of course it can be a bit chilly at times, but hey, only weaklings (and Australians) can't handle the cold. Toughen up.

tourist 1: so why are you guys in New Zealand? tourist 2: I've been sitting in the beautiful natural hot springs in rotorua. tourist 3: i've been carving up the mountain bro tourist 4 (australian): *shiver* i'm fuckn cold my flips flops and shorts shorts are to cold. i need about seeex more layers, i'm not tough enough for this beautiful place

A nice country, made up of two main islands (the North, and South island, unoriginal, I know). It is a very green place, and yes, it has alot of sheep. As far as I can see, it is not as beautiful as it is made out to be, but since I live in New Zealand, I am used to it, and don't know much better. It does have beautiful forests, but the countryside is mostly farm areas. It has the highest rate of youth suicide in the world. On the plus side, Wellington (the capital city) has one of the largest number of restaurants per head in the world\! We do not actually hate Aussies, some people sometimes mock Aussies, in one way or another, but hardly any of them are serious. I have yet to meet an incredibly racist person living in New Zealand. Well, if you aren't very used to alot of green, then New Zealand is definately for you, and by the way, in the 80's we were incredibly backward, but now I'd say we are fine. Oh, and if you are going to go to New Zealand, make sure you go in the summer, it can get quite wet and rainy in the winter (and incredibly windy if you go to Wellington) (for all you people in the US, your winter = our summer). Places I reccomend: I'd suggest you go to Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand), but not for too long as you run out of things to do very quickly. Martinborough, in February, or March, so you can catch the Martinborough fair, which is quite nice, and you can also check out the vineyards if you have a taste for wine. Taupo (halfway up the North Island), as it has a very nice active volcanic lake, which gets very warm. Wellington (capital city), as you can see Parliament (what with its Beehive building (which although original,I fell is very ugly)), and the museum, which has a very nice history of New Zealand. And in the South Island: You should check out the Frans Josef glacier (but only if you haven't seen any glaciers before). Queenstown, which is a great place for adventure sports, there are some quite nice skiing areas too (if you go in the winter). Christchurch, which is also a big city in New Zealand, but not as big as most other big cities in other parts of the world. You should also check out all the various nature walks, which are really beautiful, and are the best ways to experiance the nature in New Zealand first hand. New Zealand would be a great place to move to for retirement, as it is quite laid back. New Zealand doesn't run much risk of terrorism, or nuclear war, as New Zealand is quite small and insignificant, and most people don't even know where it is. As for living there, it's a great place for farming, if that's what you want to do. The houses can be quite expensive, and I'd suggest you buy an old house, as some of the new ones can be quite small and ugly. The TV is okay, you don't get the luxury of getting 100's of channels if you get cable, or sattelite, but you get enough, and anyway, in New Zealand you are far more likely to be out doing things instead of staying indoors, watching TV. I would not suggest New Zealand for University. The Primary and Secondrary schools are of a decent standard, not as strict as the schools in other parts of the world, unless you go to a private school, which is definately the way to go if you happen to have the money for it. The New Zealand dollar is pretty weak vs other currencies, but it is rising, so things imported from other parts of the world can be quite expensive. New Zealand is also becoming a very popular place to film movies, after the recent success of the Lord of the Rings (a bit over rated if you ask me, Peter Jacksons earlier films (the far more violent ones) are much better in my opinion). So I would recomend it for a holiday only for those who really appreciate nature in all its glory, as it is hard to find places in the world as green as New Zealand.

Non New Zealander tourist: New Zealand looks like quite a nice country, I think I may go there some time. New Zealander: Sure, it's quite a nice place, maybe you should do that. Non New Zealander tourist: Okay....I will then.

I hope there are only a minority of Australians who feel like this, as in all honesty NZ is pretty damn awesome. Also, many Kiwis tend to hate Australia because they think Australians dislike NZ. Hopefully it isn't too widespread.

Ahem, I do believe that New Zealand is growing up and a very very worthy friend to Australia and always has been and therefore is worthy of respect. My version goes like this. A few people in New Zealand do tend to be juvenile towards Australia, however, some Australians tend to respond to that (or start it) by being arrogant. That aside, New Zealand has provided a great deal of assistance to Australia with regards to East Timor, Solomon Islands, etc. and therefore, neither patronising attitudes, nor a chip on the shoulder will not help. It has taken time, but New Zealand is growing up, hopefully encouraged to do so by many Australians, instead of being thought of as a child.

Australian 1: Instead of wanting to be isolationist and juvenile, New Zealand is growing up. Australian 2: Come again? Australian 1: East Timor, Solomon Islands, it was just that lack of confidence that held them back. Australian 2: Oh right, well that's good to hear, I was wondering when NZ would grow the fuck up.

To Daryll 999 good sentiments, some Aussies are bastards but not all of them, what's more they did a few polls in Oz about New Zealand, and New Zealand came out on top in most of them. What this translates to is that many Australians like NZ so chill out. And to the person who wrote that "full of racist pricks" bit I'm sorry you feel that way but I know a lot of Kiwis and a lot of them aren't racist, although a good proportion are I guess. Attitudes are changing in NZ toward other races.

Aussie: What country came out the best in those Lowy institute polls? 2nd Aussie: New Zealand actually. 1st Aussie: Hell why can't Kiwis themselves see that?

New Zealand, right next door to Australia. 100% New Zealand, 100% Natural Resources, 100% Pure Energy Supplies, 0% Air Force, 0% Infantry, 0% Navy. 100% There for the taking. 100% Too Easy. 100% Ours\! - The Gruen Transfer. Side note. Bloody New Zealand, think you're so great because you've got one fat director\! I'm sick of reading definitions that don't pay you Kiwi bastards the utter lack of respect you deserve. What's with the definition of no Australian's hating NZ? I hate them so much. One good thing besides being part of ANZAC... creating trench warfare. That's it.

1. Australian Gov: Yeah that's a great idea Sean, New Zealand's a great place.. to put all our dickheads. 2. Australian Gov: C'mon, let's invade before the American do.

A beautiful country in the South Pacific. New Zealand is NOT the sheep shagging capital of the world, any prat who writes that, should do themselves a favour and LEARN what they are writing about. Roughly 80% of the people are honest, easy-going, relaxed, tolerant, and so on. The other 20% aren't worth worrying about are they? By all means check it out. You'll be glad you did.

New Zealand is one of the most diverse countries in the world.

A place not to far from Australia. It has 3 Islands and is mistaken to be in Europe quite alot. Where the Maori came from. Where Fish'n'Chips, Pavlova, Buzzy Bee, Jandals and L&P comes from =] Aussies say we cant pronounce the letter 'I' We can so you fuckwits, we just have an accent. Cos to us, when you say 'six' It sounds like you say 'sex'

Aussie- "Hey bro\! Look at me Im a maori all the way from New Zealand\! Lets go get some fush and chups ow\!" Kiwi- "What the fuck mate? We dont talk like that..." Aussie- "Sheep shagger\!\!\!" Kiwi- "Yeah, well when we're done we ship the lamb off to you kangaroo fuckers to eat"

Poster of \# 53 how old are you five or something? That aside, NZ is still an awesome country, very similar to Canada: Bilingual Large concentration of Scottish migrants in Otago (Nova Scotia for Canada) A Big brother country next door, called Australia (US for Canada). Australia has been very influential in New Zealand life and history why else do you think all the definitions here mention Australia, in much the same way the US has been a big influence on Canada, despite all that Australia and the US do love Canada and NZ a lot. This is becoming more realised in Canada and NZ and so that love and respect is increasingly returned. Largest tower in the Northern/Southern Hemispheres. CN Tower for Toronto, Skytower for Auckland. Neither of them joined in the Iraq fracas upsetting their respective big siblings at the time. However, they did both send troops to Afghanistan. Conclusion of post.

New Zealand and Canada have a lot in common.

Actually what Canada is to the USA, is what New Zealand is to Australia. A country full of quiet folks who keep their noses out of everyone else's business, a lot of the time. I don't know if anyone ever told you, but the pair of them fought together.

There are possibly 2% of people in New Zealand who shag sheep but just about every other country has them too.

To Sarah, 323 or whatever, that's exactly what I've been saying all along. You hit the nail on the head. And to that other git, Billy Ben, I read an article that clearly stated that a good many Britons (I won't say poms) are moving to New Zealand *in droves* and they are moving to Australia too*in droves* so pull your head in on your comments. And it is actually many of you people who smell. I couldn't give a fuck one way or the other whether you like NZ or not, but if you are going to speak about it speak the TRUTH.

I've said my piece. There are some people in every country who think New Zealand is a pile of shit, but they really do not know what they are talking about. The same applies in reverse and it must stop.

Oh, and none of you dumbshits can imitate their accents, so just stop trying before you hurt yourself trying to think about it.

Aussie: NZ'ers suck American/NZ citizen: Fuck you Aussie: We're the shit so fuck yourself, we know every fucking thing about NZ and everything else too American/NZ citizen: bullshit, you don't seem to know that everyone hates you\!

New Zealand is a country for the rich and wealthy first. What is presented is false. The welfare state is residual and under almost constant attack from right wingers. There is a pervasive feel of self-interest and greed im NZ. A smug self satisfaction is evident. Many of the wealthy live in elite suburbs, for instance, in Christchurch, Merivale or Fendalton. New Zealand has no written constitution.

New Zealand has no written constitution. The most important statutory rights are found in the unentrenched New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. These so-called rights have been overridden many times by various NZ Parliaments. As such, some have referred to NZ an a 'elective dictatorship'or "thin" democracy. It certainly lacks the rights of Canada. Canada having the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. New Zealand is a great nation 'if' you are rich, if not, watch out

New Zealand A land full of xenophobic, bad driving, stupid, one eyed, selfish, deluded, aussie hating twats. The country is quite nice but none of the New Zealanders have any clue about it they all want to get out and go on ther OE. Once on their OE they rarely return because there is not work and any work there is will be better paid elsewhere.

'I live in a beautiful country full of friendly people here in New Zealand' \!\! yeah right it has the highest sucide rate of teenagers. A huge drug and alcohol problem. High chest problems because they live in wooden houses with poor heating. I rains constanly hence a green land under a long white cloud.

New Zealand. The Land of the Long White Cloud. Home to 4 million people. It is greener than most countries but I wouldn't call it "clean and green". It is actually a really active and fun place, we should be advertising that instead of clean and green. The best city's are: Auckland (if you want to be submerged in traffic and things to do). Wellington (the capital - advisable to try to ignore the existance of the beehive, and visit the National Museum and generally enjoy the nightlife and cafe's, film festivals,etc.) Christchurch and Dunedin: A must see for people from the UK in fact you should skip Wellington and Auckland and go there first. It has lots of historical buildings and it has a friendly European feel to it. Queenstown: The overpriced, adventure capital of the world; a must go if you can afford it. On Australia and New Zealand: Relations are equal to that of Canada and the United States. Australia is economically more powerful and dominates a lot of the New Zealand market. It upsets a lot of people, as we see the "great New Zealand buy up". Also the treatment of aborigines is also a sour point, but all in all due to the ANZAC tradition from WW1 relations are good. Should you visit? 1. NZ is costly 2. It has lots to do 3. It has a nice environment 4. It is out of the way 5. You can lose yourself

To that last contributor, try reading posts, 32, and 35 OK, the underlying point of your ludicrously written post is that Australia is a more successful country simply owing to it's confidence along with a host of other reasons. You will only find a quarter of that in New Zealand but I have yet to meet someone on here who will encourage New Zealand to catch up in this area as opposed to being arseholes.

Australia is more confident of itself than New Zealand is, and therefore more successful. Numbnuts\!

An all right country, as far as I'm concerned. I'm Australian and no matter what I'll always love Australia 1000 times more than NZ, because we're a sunburnt country, Tourists may say NZ has far prettier scenery but you have to be Auzzie to understand the beauty of an orange desert meeting a clear deep blue sky. Also most tourists are from green countries, so seeing a beautiful untouched NZ forrest would seem far more appealing than a culture shock from grey green dry bush of Australia (which may I add is 1000 times better than an NZ forrest- lol). But thats my opinion. I think it's cool that you guys have developed a culture of your own- like the haka (I still giggle when I see it though-lol). But don't say Australians haven't, our culure is fun loving and bbqs, some may say that anywhere in the world has that, but Australias will always be better. I know NZ celebrities get labled as Auzzie, but to tell you the truth I think it's because the media is too stupid to know the difference so they chose the better known country. Also, do not say Australia is rasist, I am half Phillipino and have never had a hurtful comment. Other than the occasional 'Phillipino driver' joke, but I like the way we joke about ourselves and if anyone finds that offensive- well losen up. I don't mind NZ but Australia has the better accent\!\!\! LOL.

Say it with me "I would like to have six fish" not "I would like to have sex fush" Why can't New Zealanders say the letter 'i'?

A pretty good country, with the exception of wannabe gangsters, and the National party. XD Is also small, and not many people from other countries know very much about NZ. And no, noone screws sheep -.- NZ has like, the best rugby players in the world, lol And some shitty place called the Beehive (lol, parliament) Sir Edmund Hillary was from NZ, he was the first dude to climb mt Everest. NZ is also home to Maoris, most of them are pretty awesome, there are a few who fall under the "wannabe gangster" category though. basically they are just like everyone else though, but they also have their own language, and they also created the "hāngi" which is like.. I cbf explaining, just look it up lol, but it is nice XD Also I hear alotta people say random shit about Australia.. haha.. It's pretty stupid, there aint even any need for it, maybe they say something stupid like pavlova comes from there, and that we shag sheeps (omg seriously fucking, nobody NOBODY does that -.-) but noone has to retalliate, eventually if we stop saying stuff like that, they probably would too.. it's not like everyone means it when they say some of these things, but it offends some.. so yeah. lol ohh and there is also 3 islands, The North Island, The South island, and Stewart Island. Pavlova is nice... NZ cooking is ftw\! And incase anyone is wondering, we have proper houses, we don't live in little straw huts or anything like that, lol Also it is pretty good for tourism. If you come over you can find out for yourself XD Yeah maybe this is a terrible description of NZ but now you know some pretty random things XD lol, merry christmas =D

No one on here is saying Australians are gay, the fact is some Australians (and people in every other country) are arseholes. New Zealand was actually a colony of Britain not Australia, but with Australia as the big brother it administered New Zealand for a bit. And no it was not a Fourth of July style breakaway. Come Waitangi, New Zealand became a seperate colony. That happened in 1840. And while the two nations are a lot like each other, there are a number of subtle differences, however, this should not stop them from getting on.

Oz and New Zealand will never stop taking the piss out of each other, but when required, the two of them can knuckle down and get on with each other. That is why both of them are so effective as individual nations.

A beautiful country full of mostly talented people who don't feel a need to go round kissing the yank president's arse like some Aussies do (feel sorry for the rest though) it's not actually in Europe though as is widely believed by some, sadly it is in close proximity to some ugly Australians. (We have ugly types here too don't worry) we are the first country to fly (Not USA halfwits) and the first to give women the vote and to climb Mt Everest.

New Zealanders who Australia can keep (absolutely) Russell Crowe Derryn Hinch Ex Queensland Premier (Peterson) Russell Crowe is in no way a New Zealander. He is just a disgrace and a typical example of the ugly Australian. Time to do away with the sense of inferiority with Australia which some Australians have told me is unnesscessary. I think New Zealand can do it.

(proper) noun. A mythical place in the southern Pacific Ocean made of clouds, that was invented by Australians. Legends that ascribe "New Zealand" to be the birthplace of a variety of Australian celebrities, including Ernest Rutherford, Edmund Hillary, Burt Munro, Russell Crowe, Keith Urban and Sonny Bill Williams, can be traced back to early social engineering attempts undertaken by radical left-wing political movements that are also responsible for a once widely circulated urban myth: that the British couldn't conquer "New Zealand" and so had to sign treaties with the original inhabitants. Various popular musical bands also claim to be "from New Zealand", such as Crowded House, Fat Freddy's Drop and Flight of the Conchords, though this is usually not part of a crazy belief system, but a clever marketing ploy. The famous poet and philosopher, Munter, sometimes describes his ancestry as originating in "New Zealand", though this is usually a reference to his earlier work where he disproved the theory of epiphenomenalism. see also: New Zealander adjective [derrog.]. Rugby players that happen to be drunkards, sheep molesters and adults that have difficulty with shoes, as depicted in the Australian historical docu-drama "Footrot Flats", are also frequently referred to as New Zealanders.

High School Student (drunk): 'Wun ee grew oop, ee winna bi uhn Oozie, eh bro, ow'. Teacher: 'Don't give up Jerome; you're nearly ready for crayons...baby steps...and please, just call me "Miss"; it will more than double your productivity rate'. High School Student: 'Oo kah eh bro, noo woories ow bro, jest coz oo cull mi uh New Zealander, yis or stull oolright, yeh Oz- ut's chooiice izzzz, eh? Ow.'

A place where absolutely nothing happens. The most boring place in the world. Great to live in if your 70, retired and want a life of serenity and sheep, but not if your a youth looking for excitement. Seriously don't come to New Zealand if you want to have fun\!

Tourist: "I spend two weeks in New Zealand." Friend: "Oh yeah? What'd you do there? Any crazy stories?" Tourist: "Well the most exciting thing that happened was this one cow looked at me as I got close. The others didn't you see..." Friend: "Dude...That is the lamest story ever"

Country east of Australia, extending slightly further south than the Australian island of Tasmania. Has an extremely overrated reputation, especially for its physical beauty, most likely spread by NZers themselves. To hear them speak you'd never know any other country has snow-capped mountains, beaches or fiords. In reality, it's cities are uninspiring and boring, the landscape is monotonous, it has been horrible deforested, and all that green you see is sheep and dairy pastures, which are very hard on the land. There are mountains in the south, but the lanscape there is nothing compared to many other places in the world, for example southern Patagonia, which extends much further south and is much closer to Antarctica, a fact which would likely be a surprise to most NZers, as they believe they are furthest south. They may not teach much geography there, which would account for their thinking of their country as somehow special. Very nice beaches, and there are lots of them. Government: Not a democracy. Led by the ugliest head of state in the world (Helen Clarke). Now there's a superlative that is actually true\! Horribly bloated government. MPs take the people's money and live the good life, robbing the citizens of the social services they should be getting. Probably way more corrupt than anyone is willing to admit. Education: A University education is very expensive and not subsidized by the government, except as low interest loans. Despite a hugely taxed populace, the government provides no real financial aid for University. Language: Extreme accent. Hard to listen to, hard to understand. Their language is peppered with Australian slang. Hardly any of it is homegrown. Quality of life: Unless you are rich you can expect: A really small house, usually extremely ugly, unless it's old. No air conditioning. No central heating. No fly screens. Hardly any channels on the TV, unless you get Sky TV, then you pay for hardly any channels. Food is of extremely limited variety. The meat is sometimes of exceptionally poor quality, often tough and tasteless. It's the luck of the draw. Hardly any variety of vegetables. Awful bread. If you love to cook and try new things, would be hard place to live in. The standard size refrigerators are very small compared to the US. So are stoves and ovens. Unless you want to pay alot of money, you cannot own a clothes dryer. HAS THE HIGHEST CELL PHONE RATES IN THE WORLD. All electronics are extremely expensive, so you have to make a good salary to enjoy modern technology. Unless you want to pay too much, forget about a really big tv. DVDs are expensive, and there's a limited range. Salaries are lower than other western countries, and the mostly imported goods are more expensive. The clothes is expensive and it's hard to find non polyester blend items at a reasonable cost. Unless you pay top dollar, the utility company may turn off your hot water, without warning you first\! Toilets are often kept in narrow rooms, apart from bath or shower, sometimes without enough room for a washbasin. The only large bookstore in the entire Auckland area is Borders, a recent American import. Rugby mania is so prevalent, it gives the place an odd feel, as if it really were a caricature of itself. Governement services: Bloated welfare system, most everything else neglected and substandard. Diversity of Population: Not really. Lots of Polynesian and Asians, a smattering of Brits and South Africans, and the occasional Eastern European. The Americas, North and South, have hardly a presence there. Very few Africans. Auckland: The most boring large city in the world, which is not surprising, being that it's in the most boring country in the world. Culturally backward, like the rest of the country. No particularly interesting architecture. No rich cultural life. Quite dirty and unsafe in it's southern suburbs. Some streets there strongly recall streets in third world countries. Housing: Has some of the ugliest domestic architecture in the Western World. Older homes are charming enough, but anything built after around 1940 will be ugly as sin, and really small. Unless you're rich. Then it will probably be ugly too, but at least it will be bigger. Most people do not have attics or basements, so no place to keep your stuff. Internet: Because posting things to NZ from the outside world costs so much, wonderful things like eBay and Amazon are virtually unknown here. Online trading sites within the country are a Mickey Mouse version of eBay. Shopping: Most stores close by 6:00, including shopping malls, and home improvement and hardware stores (except for one day a week). This includes weekends. There are a few exceptions, and they're always full of customers until late. Wood products are extremely expensive, so people commonly own cheap looking stuff. Kitchen cabinets are made of the same cheap materials used in dentists offices and vet clinics in the US. Health care: A travesty. Long waiting lists for both routine and necessary procedures. Probably worse than Britain. Attitude: Racist all around, make up for it with a nauseating PC attitude. Make a bit deal out of "Kiwi ingenuity." What this really means is they have so little in the country, they've often had to make do and improvise. Terrible and embarrassing inferiority complex. Country has not progressed much in the last 30 years or so. As the modern Western world is a more comfortable place, full of affordable high end goods, this country is trapped in time, for all the wrong reasons. Many NZers leave and live in Australia, which is quite understandable. Culture: TV, slang, dress, etc. all come from Australia. Media: Few TV channels, substandard newspapers. To get well written intelligent news, must read the foreing papers. NY Times is not really available. Might find an a copy several weeks old selling in the airport for around $12.00 US.

I live in New Zealand, so I should know.

New Zealand is roughly around 2220 KM's from the greatest country on earth..... Australia. Some people mistake the name New Zealand for "Australia Junior" but Australia is better in so many ways. For starters, the word bro isn't chucked around after every sentence, we don't have sheep constantly around us, we can pronounce words such as six, fish and chips and rich without saying "sux, fush and chups and ruch". In conclusion, Australians do it better

country voted to have the least sexy accent in the world. the men's voices sound as if their voice box has been pushed to the back of their neck. the people of new zealand get upset easily. they will often try to start fights, especially with australians who just laugh and wonder why new zealanders get so angry. the reason new zealanders get angry is because it is a matriachal society and women are hypnotised by a small group of women to never have sex. the reason for this is power of course, but it has nasty side effects - everyone knows that a man who doesn't get any, is irritable and tries to pick fights with their neighbours. the only men that do get sex, are the sons of the abovementioned small group of women, and they are fucked by their mothers from a young age. these guys are extremely proud as you can see from a lot of the posts here. just walk the streets of a new zealand city any time and you'll know what i mean.

New Zealanders Who Australia Has Laid Claims To (Pathetic): Keisha Castle-Hughes Michael Campbell Phar Lap Split Enz The Inventer of the Pavlova RUSSELL CROWE IS IN NO WAY A NEW ZEALANDER, HE IS JUST A DISGRACE AND A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN.

78. (new zealand) (19↑, 61↓)
a place where all rip off australians go to be nuetral and where people cannot say the letter 'i'. Ps. you can say australians are mean, but really it's just that u guys are way to politically correct. australia bags everyone out and doesn't give a shit if u bag us out. we're not that sensitive and the reason the world likes us and acknowledges us (cos they dont even know who u r) is because we're tough.

if u want an example of how prissy new zealanders are, finish reading all this "we're beautiful and just as good as australia\! so don't be meanie poos" shit, then search australia and read about how proud we are to be poitically uncorrect we are, how we drink twice our own body weight in beer and how swearing is our language. its better to be a quarter racist, than to all have the same boring views
