Dunnunda & Godzone

Why do we have to combine Australian and New Zealand aviation news in the same Pprune Dunnunda & Godzone section? I for one don't care about what is going on over the Tasman and find it difficult and frustrating searching through all the Aussie related stuff to get to the NZ stuff which matters. Who cares about NAS over here.

I vote for a separate New Zealand section and an Aussie one.

For pretty much the same reason that the UK Reporting points isn't split into Scots, Welsh and Irish sections and other colonies.

Keep it simple, keep the "voluntary" moderating time down and keep it all together.

We aslo generally share a common aviation, regulatory and common air service agreements.

I publish Jobs from both sides of the Tasman, whenever anyone sends them to me. And I do it for nothing. And besides, Danny pays for the bandwidth ...... so be thankful.

Woomera, was that a veiled admission that NZ is a colony of Aust?

No, I think he was referring to Australia, that well-known penal colony...

i totally agree. i can only imagine the frustration of searching so hard for anything that matters in NZ.

did you find the recent thread about the latest velcro flying gloves, they're a hut un Inn Zidd, ay Bro.... Choice!!

i guess no one really cares enough to give you a special place of your own. and since most of you are bludging on the beach over here why would you really need it?

NZ aviation??? "The Bondi Beach Shark Patrol"...

now go cry with flossy.....


You really need to get a life. I'll help you find the time - you're out of here for a few days to cool off!

I think its high time Oz got its own forum. I understand that maybe PPRUNE is running at capacity. And we id appreciate the seperation of the forums into 4 a couple of years back. Me tto, I am sick of stumbling onto a Kiwi stuff.

And all of us in PNG have to share D+G too... We can usually identify OUR topics because the threads include the letters "PNG". Maybe the Kiwi folks could start including "NZ" in their thread topics, so that WE will know which topics to avoid.

WHY???? because you mild-manoreds can't even spell "mannered", that's why...

now you 'shaggers need not fuss, just go back to squeezing into your wellies and focus on walking down there and sh***ing as many as you can before they all run away, then, for aviations's sake, jump in a bug-smasher and fly around looking for an airline to ruin with your bull-dyke hag moll of a PM.

maybe then if you try rully hard we'll give you your own section but you need to destroy more airlines and happy lives than you have so far to rate your own section you know........

yiiih mett, Inn Zidd rulls, ayyyyy????? fushnnnnnnnnnnchups

To the offended Kiwi, MOR, who emailed me about this post and the thread in general:

If your reply email address [email protected] is non existant, don't expect a reply!!! I've wasted more than enough time trying to contact you!

Well, as an Aussie, I'm all for a separate Kiwi forum and after all, how much bandwidth can one thread take up anyway?

You should probably consider yourself lucky to even have a seperate NZ/Australia forum. The majority of the time, the forum traffic doesn't really seem to warrant it.

Get rid of them, give them there own site.

As for PNG, hope you stay with us, have many hours in PNG, DC-3 and F-27's. Lots of good memories.

Apinun olgeta.

Cheers

Cheers robroy. Just as in real life, we have nowhere else to go, so I'm sure that PNG topics (few as they are) will be here forever! Judging by Woomera's comments, I suspect that this topic is about to get the (lamb) chop...

Deservedly, IMHO...

See, I'm not the only one who thinks the same...

Give us our own NZ section. We're fed up of being lumped in with the Aussies. You'd think that NZ was part of Australia for christ's sake.

Given your predictive prowess, please email Saturday's winning numbers!
