Boeing Belly,
Over many years I have been aware of the sponging of the kiwis and it is pleasing to note, at last, the general populace of Australia have been awakened to that fact.
Just one example is the imbalance of welfare payments imposed on Australia of $200 million annually and that is ONLY ONE aspect of it.
Actions speak louder than words and we have the solution in our hands. As you say don't fly AirNZ, don't buy their products and press our politicians to correct the welfare and Closer Economic relations rorts.
Let them shoulder their own burdens and set them adrift.

And I nearly forgot. Let us apply the same discriminatory employment policies as AirNZ does against Australian pilots. Don't employ NZ pilots in Australia.
