New Zealand Defence Force recruiting:
Nervous: Oh yes and don't forget the people who first went to Oz were made to go there, the people who came to NZ did so because they wanted to.

I actually have to agree with 500 and BB as lots of Kiwis are in fact moving to Oz.
A now dead NZ Prime Minister upon commenting about Kiwis going to Oz insisted
that by doing so the Intellect of both countries was being raised
However as an ex pom I couldn't do that now as I love where we live and as for house
prices well we could never ever afford the same sort of house, amount of ground and
views if we were still in the UK, thats of course if we could find an equal sort of place.

And I refuse to buy those Marlborough NZ whites, I would consider that treason
But back on topic.
Perhaps this is behind the recruitment drive (and oldie but a goodie)

Which you do very rarely, and you skippies are still pissed off about losing that cricket test In Tassie, you know, the one you lost but still gave Man of the Match to an Aussie? It's that deep-seated sense of fair play eh!

I know a chap who left the RAF transferred and came back a year later; his main gripe was pay and the overall cost of living. At that time a Flt Lt was earning @£22k pa plus his pension, taxed.

I'm with you on this one, a kills a kill.
So since it has become tit for tat, let's pull out the big gun that
downs all Kiwis.
Hat, coat, I'm out of here

Kluge,
Very funny, haha.
Maybe you forgot to consider the 50,000 Kiwi snipers out there with bush experience, taste for blood and telescopic hunting rifles. Probably some even with NVG's.
The mighty English couldn't conquer the place after decades of drama. Throw a few bbq's, hangi's and free piss on the beach and the Aussies would be toast.
Haha!

A couple of relevant articles:

I'm not sure about NZ ever becoming a state within Oz, we'd have to house train 18 million people overnight.
I believe Australia is soon to join the US. They have so much in common such as culture, modesty, waistlines and requirement to live in a trailer wearing a vest and playing the banjo.
The quietly spoken, understated Aussies also have a great deal in common with regard to quality of the national rugby teams.
