Question

Discuss the reasons for any perceived tension between New Zealanders and Australians

Answer 1

OF COURSE WE GET ALONG!!!! Just look at aussies and new zealanders when they're overseas..even if they don't know eachother it's like they're best friends, I ended up being best friends with a new zealander that I met by chance in london (I'm Aussie)...But we're like family, just like you can rip the piss out of your little brother, or your wierd uncle, aussies and kiwi's rip the piss out of each other, but, also like family, if anyone other than family starts ripping the piss out of one of us, the other jumps straight to their defense...yep, we love eachother, even if kiwi's do have intimate affairs with sheep...eeewe!!

Answer 2

We generally get on, except for the odd sporting event. Australia's unofficial sporting motto is "As long as we beat New Zealand!"

Answer 3

They are neighbors and they have stupid pride over each other. Also because they are practically the same people.

Answer 4

Probably cuz Australians have those tasty and freaky naughty chocolate Tim Tam's; "suck 'em, lick'em, roll 'em between the aisles". What a slogan. My job works with several Australian travel companies and they send those to us. Weird bunch of people, but aren't we all.

Answer 5

I'm an Aussie,I've got on with lots of Kiwis LOL

Answer 6

course they get along once walked into a co fee bar in Australia offed them a cup from my pack and asked for a cup of coffee when the rather puzzled lady asked why i gave her a cup i replied . thought all the cups in Aussie were now in NEW ZEALAND . i was the only kiwi in there and everyone took it as a joke

Answer 7

We do get along. I have worked with many Kiwi's and we are pretty much alike. We enjoy having a good time, taking the p*** out of each other and calling their movie stars Aussies, all in good fun of course.

Answer 8

Of course they get along. It is just a friendly rivalry. New Zealanders and Aussies are so laid back we couldn't be bothered disliking someone. Everyone's a mate!

Answer 9

Absolutely they get along. There are heaps of Kiwis that live in Australia and vice versa (although more kiwis in Oz). . We just like to give each other a good ribbing!. . Q. How can you tell when a Kiwi has been in your fridge?. A. There are love bites on the lamb roast. . See what I mean.....we love our Antipodean friends.....but they must be punished!

Answer 10

It's a freindly rivalry. We are actually real close and get along well.
