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.

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.

Wouldn’t that increase the average IQ of Australia but decrease New Zealand? 🤭

Same thing happens when I visit Bangkok.

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

The mind boggles. The Poms would never win anything

Poms don’t compete for England or UK since they have already emigrated to Australia or New Zealand.

Pom, Pommie etc refers to a Immigrant
