Except the Kiwis over in Australia pay far more in taxes than they get in any welfare in Australia. Secondly, only Australian residents and citizens can get welfare. Most New Zealanders living in Australia are there under the trans-Tasman travel agreement fall in neither category - so they're ineligible, although Aussies living in NZ can get welfare on those terms.

But you're stuck with Russell Crowe, so I agree. Even trade.

Aussies and Kiwis are in the right spot, isolated from the rest of the world.
the seas are so rough that most boats of refugees that try to get there end up sinking
pretty much safe from everyone but the U.S

Not sure if the Mexican reference really applies...you can't drive there from Australia.

Just for info - how long a plane ride is it? Are there ferries? Is it considered a day trip or do the tourists go for longer periods of time?

ImaDoormat: Just for info - how long a plane ride is it?

About 4 hours from the east coast of Australia to N.Z. - The distance is about the same as London to Moscow.

The woman in the donkey show is harnessed in underneath the donkey for safety reasons. It wasn't unheard of for a tijuana mama to die from a violent session in the early days. They spray female donkey pheromones onto the womans snatch and strap her in nowadays.

* A 33-year-old man was arrested and charged with disorderly behaviour when he allegedly refused to leave the Fergburger burger outlet because he was "grossly intoxicated" on Friday night.

Mr Newell said the man went next door to Fergbaker and ate another patron's pie.

He refused to give details when police officers spoke to him and he was arrested.

The man brought the pie back up while in custody, Mr Newell said.


Well, at least he gave it back.

From another source: Link

A drunk Australian man was arrested for disorderly behaviour after he went into a Queenstown bakery and ate another customer's pie.

The man, 33, who refused to give police his details, was taken to the police station, where he vomited on arrival.

Police picked up another drunk man about 7am yesterday, asleep in the entranceway to Queenstown Airport.

The man could not remember where he was staying or where he had left his bags and said he had decided to come to the airport because he just wanted to go home.

Police took no further action.


ANZAC spirit FTW!

I read the article and if you think you that sounds like anything that goes on in a Mexican border town, you've not spent much time in a border town after 10pm.

If it would have said "Poe and a Mexican hooker were arrested whilst snorting uncut blow in a taxicab and cuffed until he gave the cops 100 bucks, then proceeded to hitchhike back to boystown and bang his hooker for free on the roof of the whore house whilst snorting even more blow and taking Rohypnols" then I would have recognized the type of fun they were having. But, simply going next door "and eating another patron's pie" doesnt. That sounds like a somewhere like New Zealand or something.

Nah, Bali or Thailand are Australia's Tijiuana/Spring break kind of places. Fiji is the 'safe' budget alternative location for families and the less adventurous.
They show up in NZ, it's just a few of them being the normal crude drunken shiatheads that they are, call it the 'Ugly Australian' problem. It only makes news here because it just doesn't go over well.

They haven't figured out Kiwi's aren't exactly begging for their tourism, nor will put up with thier bogan antics like the third world tourist traps will. Cantabrians are about the only people welcoming them nowadays, and only if they are currently helping to rebuild something at the moment.

They're not donkeys. They're zebras. Really they are. See the stripes?

Queenstown was one place I visited where you dont even need to be drunk to enjoy it: its just so gorgeous. Unlike, say, des moines, where it makes sense to run drunk and naked through the streets in order to get your thrills.

How YOU doin'?
 
2012-08-13 02:01:05 AM
Yeah, it's all those drunken tourists' fault. Let's ignore the fact that almost every hotel is a backpacker-style party house and they all arrange bar crawls with free booze. And let's also ignore the fact that all the bars are pretty cheap anyway and offer deals for people staying in the hotels.

So essentially they created a party town for young people to get cheap booze and now they complain about some loutish behaviour? The tourist dollar keeps Queenstown alive so they can shut the fark up.

Damn right. Australian natives get drunk and pretty much just stay there playing the didgeridoo. Our natives get drunk and pretty much single handedly smash an entire Nazi army!

To be fair, only Aussies can really afford to get shiatfaced in Queenstown. Beer is too expensive there and we can drink so much. It's so sad because it's an awesome place that should be best enjoyed completely farked up.
