bust Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Big policy ideas usually don’t come up in parliamentary valedictory speeches – they’re for saying goodbye and thank you. So departing Labour MP Jamie Strange was the exception last week when he made a case for New Zealand and Australia becoming one country. https://theconversation.com/a-retiring-nz-mp-has-suggested-joining-australia-we-should-at-least-think-about-it-before-saying-no-211728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I've always thought that it would be sensible to combine the two countries. However I'm not sure we'd convince enough people over here, to make it work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Penis is hungry Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 If you study your pre Australia history, 1880,s, you'll learn that the population of the colonies voted to become one single country along with Fiji. Qld and WA said no, NZ and Fiji said yes Next round Fiji said no, Qld and WA again said no, with NZ, NSW, Victoria, SA and Tassie saying yes Next round NZ dropped out, all the colonies in the island of Australia said yes along with Tassie And that's Australia And, to join up we don't even need a referendum, it's in our constitution that we can rejoin as one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
