Jenny Shipley, like Chris Hipkins, inherited the Prime Minister position because a predecessor retired/resigned. Helen Clark was the first female Prime Minister to win it by the general election vote
Close: Jenny wanted to roll Jim Bolger, and she rallied the troops until she held full support and Bolger had none. They voted for leader, Bolger straight out resigned and Jenny became new leader unopposed.
Mate, currently watching and you are up to question 15 - you are doing 2 better than me. I am a born and bred kiwi lol. Loving your channel, and so happy you are enjoying your time here!
Same. Been here 50 years and a quite a few I didn't know either cause don't need to like longest river or original capital, or I'm too old to keep up with what the youth is up to..
Dang Curls, that was amazing. Great quiz questions too. Your te reo pronunciation is excellent but, you absolutely nailed Q14, 80% of Pākeha couldn't have done it. Also, l'm old as, Aotearoa born and raised and didn't know a lot of those. Off to google "court case in a can" and a few others.
Haha loved this, part 2 surely? 👀. I also realised I submitted a question without an answer 😂 which was “how do you find a kiwi tourist anywhere in the world?” And the answer was “shout ‘Tūtira mai nga iwi’ and they shout ‘AUE!’ back”. Hoping for a second part ❤
Yea, mums friend got beaten so badly by them her back was broken. She has ongoing problems with it to this day. Mururoa is still an uninhabitable toxic paradise and will be for generations to come. Shame on the French for that disgusting piece of history
South Island considered the "mainland" because it's (only sightly) bigger than the North Island geographically, even though the North Island has about double the population
BY GUM CURLS!!! You nailed question 14....blardy unbelievable my friend!! I'm pretty long in the tooth now, 78 and I've NEVER managed to get that place name right! You're the bomb alright mate💣👌💣a true blue Kiwi through and through Curls....Happy Holidays to you and yours from me and mine.
Kia ora Curls, chur bro. Hey, just wanna say - kia ora bro for learning how to pronounce kupu Maori properly. I can tell by your inflections that you've spent time alongside fluent reo speakers....too much bro. And Taumatawhakatangihangakoauau.....Yep, too much bro. Love your content. Keep it up
I had been working at Mt. Eden Prison (as a prison officer) for 3 only months; in 1985 when the 2 agents were caught. The Female (Dominique Prieur) was kept at the Female Division and the male (Alain Mafart) was kept in the security block.
I've just stopped cleaning prisons cells dirty protests bio hazard cleaning 9 years was 8.1/2 years to long hard dirty work at mt Eden and all the other prisons in Auckland south and Northshore plus spring hill
Funny thing growing up in the eighties we hardly learned any history of NZ. I think we learned more British and American history. Really odd when I think if it.
If you are still in NZ for a few more months and have not yet been to a powhiri yet, or into a Marae, I can invite you to a powhiri if you are interested, should be coming up in Feb sometime. If keen just let me know, no stress or pressure.
Sounds like u need to take a road trip up to the bay of islands. Hugely history rich place up there so much to see and do.. definatly need a car to get arround tho
You did great, I didn't get the Shortland Street one!! Also I don't know what word you were given but the 1st capital was Kororāreka, that's the Maori word for Russel.
Gisborne is the first "city" not the first place Also, the small island nation of Kiribati's timezone is actually ahead of New Zealand so they could also claim to be the first place
Question 3 answer should have been "Land of the long white Cloud" not just "long white cloud" As a Maori we teach our tamariki (children ) when they are Pepe (babies)
Make lots of parts! You did better than me as a NZer but the NZ education has traditionally covered whatever random often far left ideas were fashionable at the time, not any of this (as least for me). Did learn a lot about how nuclear was is bad though (starting from 10, so great for nightmares)!
British people need not feel ashamed about the colonisation of New Zealand... They brought a system of government so stable, it is the envy of the world.
😄You're krack-up curls....🤨I've been here for over half a century & I wuz lucky to answer half of those correctly....😏love this shiz brutha....😎you really are a real one mate....p.s. Your pronunciation is massive💓🙉🙊🙈

Way behind in seeing this, but opinions differ as to what a spider is - many would say it's an ice cream float, so your answer is a bit more right than you think. Almost no-one in New Zealand apart from those local to the area can say the longest place name!
Whare paku is one word for toilet, whare iti (Small house) is the other commonly used, heres one for you, what is the kiwi word for the old outside toilet or privy in other places? Answer: Long drop...O for awesome video mate. P.S. the Chatham Islands is the first inhabited place in NZ and the world to see the sun. Peace.
Hey mate just wanted to let you know that we in Nz actually have 3 offical languages NZSL Māori and English Great job on getting way more than me and I’ve lived in NZ my whole life 😂 Ka pai to mahi
So, Im a Maori/Samoan who has lived here all of my life, I have never said the longest place name without biting my lip......amazing honorary uce.....straight up. Come have a BBQ when you're in Auckland
Round ball rugby. South Island roundball rugby (Rumble rugby) Has spread to south Australia. Still going strong. But why was it invented ,(1920s). A mazing.
