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.

Windshear 15th Aug 2004 10:11

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. :(

*Lancer* 15th Aug 2004 14:07

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

MOR 15th Aug 2004 14:26

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

air-hag 15th Aug 2004 14:53

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.

Sheep:( :rolleyes: :ok:

OzExpat 15th Aug 2004 18:20

And all of us in PNG have to share D+G too... :D 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. ;)

Cloud Cutter 15th Aug 2004 21:20

Yip, I'm sick of hearing about NAS, Dick Smith, the Award and J*. Why must we mild manored kiwi's who get on with our ATCOs, get paid crap, and accept our low cost airlines have to weed through this drivel:}

air-hag 15th Aug 2004 21:33

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

Woomera 15th Aug 2004 21:41

I just knew this thread could only go one way .... downhill!!! :{ :{

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! :mad:

It was ruined long before Air NZ got to it.

Buster Hyman 16th Aug 2004 01:32

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

AerocatS2A 16th Aug 2004 02:42

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.

Capt Snooze 16th Aug 2004 08:16

So AerocatS2A,

Were you talking quantity or quality?




Snooze :ouch:

robroy 16th Aug 2004 09:02

I too, am fed up with k one w ones bludging off Australia, particularly the haka ones.

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

OzExpat 16th Aug 2004 09:33

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... :D

Deservedly, IMHO... :}

Kiwi666 16th Aug 2004 10:23

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.

KLN94 16th Aug 2004 10:27

Hey Kiwi666,

Do you think you guys are going to win a medal in the first week of the Olympics unlike last time...?
