Coss Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 If we join, can I be Premier? I have the ability to command the support of a majority of members of the lower house of Parliament, they don't know it yet, walk quietly and carry a big stick is my style...

However I'm not sure we'd convince enough people over here, to make it work properly. It will never happen, primarily because the indigenous people would be very much against it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's indigenous people? I always believed the indigenous people of New Zealand reconciled long ago and all parties were quiet agrreable with what took place. Here in Australia it's a completely different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maoris, the indigenous people of New Zealand, would NEVER be ok with New Zealand becoming a part of Australia. As for Maoris being quite agreeable with "what took place", nah, that's not the case at all. I would suggest race relations (between Maori and the rest) is one of the major issues New Zealand faces at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I don't have any issues with the majority of Kiwis. Similar to us Aussies in so many ways. But the term "Aussies" is very different to what it used to be. What I have found lately is a level of racism beyond what I remember growing up. Australia used to be a very tolerant country to foreigners. Sure there was that pocket of society who felt threatened by anything different but all in all it worked. There was a great film called They're a Weird Mob That was kind of how it was growing up. Now I find as a white Anglo Saxon Australian I am a minority. I recently had a guy at work complaining about his kids new school being full of Asians and Indians. Oddly he migrated here not too long ago. Personally doesn't really bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
