Why isn’t New Zealand part of Australia anyway? 

They were once, but New Zealand rejected them. Recent events have proved them to be right.

We dont want them

cause nz doesn't have enough money or man power to overtake aus

Why would we take over a country that try's to kill you constently we dont want or need Australia they are the b team just a bunch of convicts

So true and also the older bro is clearly nz

They even share a army lol

It is, but it's important to note that Western Australia was a crown colony at the time (as was Fiji) so it was therefore not self-governing, but more importantly the economies of Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia were not in great shape, and joining meant subsidies coming from the other states.

The Australian economy is more advanced and NZ lags distantly behind ($67,458 compared to $41,555 GDP per capita). If NZ had joined Australia their economic development would be more in line with Australia's as you would have been provided with more benefits from Canberra than revenues you draw from your own population. But hey that was NZ's decision and we (in NSW) already pay for states that don't perform as well as us (e.g Tas, SA).

I'm an Australian. What is "the bledisloe"?

It's a mythological cup that supposedly comes to Australia when we defeat NZ in the Rugby Union. They say it once come to Australia in the early part of the turn of the century.

OTPulse thanks for the heads up. Never heard of it. Good luck, Qld and northern NSW err, I mean "Australia", in you kinda sorta interstate (2 states v 1) rugby competition.

simon T If you ever decide to watch a Game of Rugby Union (Not Rugby League, that's a different game but similar)... Don't watch Aus v NZ it's embarrassing :-) haha

CrimsonDynamo : The Wallabies are pathetic at the moment. Too much political bullshit interfering with the player selection process & useless show off players. I don't think we'll ever have another Wallabies competitive side like we did during late 1990s to 2005.

Most Aussies i know and the general public at large usually only buy something when it has the "made in Australia" or "Australian owned" sticker on it. Plus the govt taxes import up the anus that even if you had no National Pride it would end up costing more anyway. Plus the new addition of the 10% digital goods tax added on top of it all.

they have the same flag, I believe that has changed

I would like to say, since I am Canadian and have visited the countries you are talking about. I have found that attitude-wise....Canadians and Kiwis are similar, while Aussies and Americans are similar. Just sayin!

There really isn't a huge difference between Canadians and Americans.

You have free access to migrate to Australia, and what you do here is up to you provided it's law-abiding.

what is different for example?

+Demauscian srsly? :D i mean from the culture you know

Alot of differences. Money, taxes, liability, federalism, history, conservatism, xenophobic (Australia kinda have a reputation of being racist), climate, wages. These are just the large differences, there are loads of smaller ones too :D

Ell I think the main reason they opted to leave an option for New Zealand inclusion was in case of war.

Well that is the point this video missed entirety NZ have formed from the founding document of 1840 while the separate colonies (now states) acted independently. Some rather silly behaviour was in play such as different rail gauges etc. So a merger was mooted and these states decided to federate into a single entity from 1903. This has been partly successful, in the 1970s a common rail gauge was achieved. There is still however no such thing as an Australian drivers licence, there are still 7 different governments, and many of the objectives of federating are yet to be achieved. For instance border controls are often enforced between one patch of endless sandy desert and another endless patch. Australia is however recognised as one country by those outside the country, living in Australia you know that's not actually the case. NZ joining the federation would have been a mistake and history shows it was never taken seriously. The behaviour of Australia's individual states indicates that even Australia hasn't taken it too seriously.

Declared what?

@Kula Cnt I doubt the maoris would of eaten you, they liked people with mana and not white so you'd be safe lol, opposing chiefs was the high mark, not criminals but men of honour, definitely wouldn't eat you.

Yeah but it was after NSW and Tasmania. Matter of fact, all of the Australian colonies were founded before Australia, since that's how federations work, New Zealand was just the colony that didn't decide to tag along.

+dave brumby I'm not from New Zealand, but what's wrong with a country being americanized?

+Jacob Rolwes because Australia and NZ have cultures of their own and Americanism is wiping them out like a virus.

As far as I know as an Australian, Australians are pretty content/indifferent to their British history, as we are with almost every other aspect of history, society and politics.

I suppose that makes sense. I woudn't call it a virus though.

Jacob Rolwes are you American? Because if you are,I'm sad to make you aware of this but the rest of the world finds americans general attitude pretty fucking disgusting. I understand not all Americans are complete slobs and loudmouths. There is a terrible blame culture in the US and that's also wearing pretty thin

Wow, it's like the difference between the American North and South.

No it's important to bear in mind that we are talking about independent colonies here, so it could be argued that South Australia was just as progressive as NZ whereas Queensland was not.

What he actually said was that the kiwis are more chilled (eg easier to get along with) and thats his opinion - I dont have a lot of experience on this but I am inclined to agree, and I can think of a couple of reasons for it. 1.The Maori were an entirely different crew to the Australian aboriginal, Maoris had settled NZ relatively recently, they had traditions of warfare and seamanship and were a cohesive group. whereas the "Australian Aboriginals" were actually about 800 different nations some warlike, some not so much some hating and fighting with some tribes and so on. Not a cohesive group. The result of this is that they couldnt negotiate a treaty like the Maori did, The quite small tribe that first dealt with the invaders were very soon wiped out- they were pretty good fighters by all accounts but not a match for the british. The other nations didnt necessarily see that as an attack on their sovereignty, probably some of the closest tribes were thinking - great those bastards are gone we can stop worrying about them now. Doubly so the British had to bargain with the Maori and were forced to do it soon. 2. People settled NZ because they actually wanted to go there whereas Australia was a Penal Colony for a very long time before people realised what a great place it actually is. The result of this is not easy to explain but think about when a colony is set up - especially one at the farthest points possible, its hard to get good help, so all the institutions, police, political groups, movers of society etc are drawn from the general population which in Australia consisted of members of the Rum Corpse and Prisoners who had served there terms. Institutions such as armed forces and police and so on tend to develop and perpetuate a culture the existing culture shapes the attitudes of new recruits and so on. This is all conjecture on my part I will admit but I think it is only a matter of collecting some evidence and presenting it properly and it would at least be good to fuel a debate. Every five years or less, some scandalous exposee on Australian Police or politicians (eg 12 police bashing and tasering a half naked tourist to death, institutionalised child abuse by the NT corrections department, Whole NSW state3 government brought down when its proven they have all been taking bribes) - I dont know for sure if it happens similarly in NZ but I never hear anything like that coming from across the tasman. in New Zealand we see a much different picture. People settling there probably did so at great cost after much thought and were much more likely to make better police, politicians, post masters etc. And thus create a more chilled society than one that was based on prisoners and guards. I realise Im probably being a bit harsh on prisoners and guards but read about the Rum Corps and the soldiers and prisoners of the first fleets to Australia, they were a pretty rough crowd.

That’s a bit strong......

You mean the British?

@@mikespearwood3914 Actually no. Western Australia borders the rest of Australia. There is no distance.

@@BobJones20001 Are you being disingenuous? Most West Australians are further away from the majority of the Australian population than New Zealanders are.

+Aaron Moffatt how was it?

New Zealand's first prime minister Henry Sewell was in 1856, Australia became an official nation in 1901.

Mannon Howard Also you can just google it "when did new zealand become a country" and you will find 1840.

+Aaron Moffatt I see what you mean. All the state's of Australia were separate with their own governments even earlier. If not for federation they may well have stayed separate and become countries in their own right. New Zealand simply held the same status. New Zealand was governed as part of New South Wales for quite a long time too. I think people tend to forget how shared our history really is. A great portion of white Kiwis are descendants of people who were in Australia first then went to New Zealand. I'm one of those people.

and nz done nothing in all that time before aus "offically" became a country while aus powered ahead with infrastructure and people actually wanting to come and live here..nz 4.5 mil people in 170 yrs..pathetic

I went to NZ once. It was choice.... Bro.

Didnt need to mention you were an Aussie. Because one can spot a fuckwit a mile away.

Seriously though, it was really nice and so were the people.

The population of kiwis in Australia is slowly growing as of 2015. It's still growing but a lot of us are going back because the mining booms finished. 2010 was the year most kiwis came with 26,000. In 2015 4,000 kiwis came and 7,000 left Australia. I have aunties in Queensland and ones already left and another has a kid that goes to school in New Zealand and a husband that works in New Zealand but she still lives here and I'll be leaving in atleast 5 months. We're all moving back because there are more jobs in New Zealand at the moment. Kiwis are loosing there jobs in the mines and don't get any benefits while looking for a new one because there foreigners so they would rather waste there money coming back then living poor in Australia.

So kind of like what Mexicans, Italians, Canadians, British, French, Latin Americans, Asians, and Indians do in the United States...I know your pain.

+Draco Venit Im from NZ. People use those terms often, certainly the "white" term. Black might not be used as much because Polynesians arent really black, they are more brown.

Some people are beginning to use the term "white", I set them straight whenever I have the chance. White is meaningless to us. It does not refer to a cultural group, to practices, or even to genetics. In NZ when I refer to white people (which is very rarely) I'm talking about White Americans. As it has some meaning in the American context as they have created the dichotomy which has meaning. I'm not white, your not white. If anything we are Pakeha, or British NZers, or European NZers (or even better we are the suburb of AK we come from) we are not "white". That is as foolish as telling a Maori he is "black". Calling pakeha white and maori and pacifika black is meaningless. We are not Americans, or Australians. We do not put emphasis on that dichotomy. That is the real point to be made. "Black might not used as much as they are not black"... that is only part of it. The other part is that it is not part of our traditional NZ culture. Also notice that it is SJW's and privileged young adults who use the term white along with ignorant people who identify as "black"... this is due to their attachment to American culture and complete dissociation with NZ culture. They don't even know who they are, so they consider themselves white or non-white, rather than NZer and the multiple races and cultures which formed them. "Black" and "white" are the opposite of power words in NZ, in fact they strip NZers of their culture and place in the world. Unlike in the US where it affirms and divides people alike.

I think your reading far too much into this. "Im not white, your not white." I'm fairly certain the color of my skin is white. Your trying to attach some sort of cultural thing to words that simply describe what the colour of a persons skin is. You also seem to think theres some vast difference between NZ and American culture. We're actually very similar to Americans whether we like it or not. The UK, US, Australia, NZ and Canada are 90% the same in terms of culture. The other 10% is the slight uniqueness each country has.

Is your skin actually white? I would doubt that. White does have meaning to Americans, it does imply culture and a wide range of assumptions. When they say white they are speaking of a race-cultural construct which is inseparable. They have a long history of black vs white. We do not. We have pakeha vs tangata whenua, however not in the extreme dichotomy of that in the US. In NZ you can be Maori without having dark skin, in NZ you can be a "kiwi" with any skin colour. I've seen SJWs and fascists alike use the term "white" in NZ, and I check them when I can. We should not succumb to the discourse of other nations. We are our own country, those with British and European ancestry are not white, just like Maori are not Black. Maori who identify as "black" are a sign of American Neo-colonialism, or rather cultural pollution. To say you are white is to wash away all your ancestors cultures and assume the American construct of "white".

***** It is nice that you do not see white or black as being a cultural thing. As Americans and some others do actually see black and white to actually mean something other than skin colour, they think it means something about their culture. I'm not trying to put some sort of "cultural thing" with race ("skin colour"), I'm trying to tell you that people do assume "cultural things" about race. That is my issue with the terms. Who do you hear using the term "white"? What sorts of people? If you could choose one which would you select to represent your identity: "white", "pakeha", "british NZer", "NZer" or "european NZer"?

My bad, only knew for sure the Australian one was wrong. (Note to self, google more.)

We went to NZ one month ago. In Auckland, everyone we saw was either Asian or Indian. travelling around, all small business was owned by Indians or Chinese. The Auckland harbour front was a disgrace. Petrol on the South Island was $2.40 almost double Australian prices. Australia deported 2800 Kiwis in the past two years and soon both countries may decide against open entry, and visas will be required, this will be due to refugees using NZ as a back door to OZ.

No problem Don't come to NZ Just go to Australia
