New Zealand a Failed State and a Rogue State to the rest of the World

Mr Garnut Gumpal must be feeling very pleased with himself for the way this bit of whimsy has progressed.

(Rest of Sthn Hemisphere, perhaps, and I'd take it seriously)

Thank you, O greek one.

I can assure you that this thread was started with utmost seriousness as I can see Australia being dragged in to save these wellington booted numbskulls. They closed their whole economy down, had no income, did less well on the stats viz a viz coronavirus on a per capita basis, and now expect us to bail them out.

And we will bail them out no doubt so that a few idiots can go ski-ing in Queenstown.

Interesting. I misread the purpose, then. After the polarising absolutes espoused in the 2 other similarly titled threads, I assumed a bit of levity, with inconsequentiality to the fore. But I see your point.

Quite a few days of no cases now in N.Z. Very happy to have been in lockdown. Back to fishing and meeting friends tomorrow so all good.

Not sure we need "bailing out" lol
 
Been to New Zealand a few times. Love it. They are more chill than us.
I was there recently and Auckland is getting an underground subway! All that volcanic rock, it must be costing a fortune.

To be honest I do sometimes egg it.

Nonetheless.

If we are forced to deal with New Zealand might it not be worthwhile to do it gradually and admit The South Island in to The Commonwealth of Australia as an easing so to speak, and then if there are no adverse effects on Australia put admitting the North Island to a referendum.

Naturally the people of The South Island would be entitled to vote on this as would all the States and Territories of Australia, but NOT The North Island of New Zealand. .

As I live in New Zealand (North Island) I would like the right to vote.

The reason being I work for an Australian company.

I also travel to Australia once every 2 years for work, supporting your economy. I get paid in AUD.

My dear @Porper .

I am quite sure that there are some who live in Mexico or Botswana who would like to be citizens of The Commonwealth of Australia and vote with the South Island of New Zealand and the States and Territories of Australia in my proposed referendum.

They may very well even work for an Australian company.

Some fortunates may even be paid in AUD.

Nonetheless I would oppose said Mexicans or Botswana from being included.

As I do those from the North Island of New Zealand.

Next you will be asking for the voting information to be printed in English, Spanish, Nahuatl and Tswana.

The Subway shop in Auckland will be more chill than any here in Oz, so should become an iconic and worthwhile investment, like the Beehive in Wellington.
Speaking of iconic, best T-shirt ever was from here.

I suspect Porper a bit of a fan of the Cindi Experiment and with that in mind I may have to move to the into a dimly lit corner of of this post and talk very quietly.................................I haven't been to Townsville but have flown into Cairns several times but only driven as far south as Tully the tablelands are amazing ..........and would like to come again.........soon............but then there is the fly's that want to crawl into any part of your body and all over the food ,spiders, ants, snakes, crocodiles, stingers,sharks and did I mention the snakes green, black, brown,cream and brown........ esh shudder.

You might have heard :) we have we have a couple referendums comin up you could come to NZ for a one way trip .........cheaper goin home of course .......but hey you could grow your own while you were waiting for God.

All the best

PS If I did decide to come I'd just egg it out of Queenstown before 6.

Sir Garpal
I am willing to prepare a letter to the Queen proposing that Queensland annex Queenstown, as a forerunner to any referendum.
As you will note, this is a very natural State of Affairs amongst all queens.
Gratuitously
Your Minion

Will you settle for Governor of Queenstown @rederob ?

HM E2 is onside.

Am happy to step down that far so as to raise the Queen's standard.

That is one nice standard.

The job is yours on condition you make me one for Governor of Southland, the best part of the South Island of New Zealand.

I plan to drive the Arnage along the beach at Invercargill daily in memory of Burt Munro, a great Southlander, to get that good Antarctic breeze.

And to think I used to have to climb on a plane and travel at least 3 hours to find a place full of Bloody Australians :confused::cool::D;):)

In the light of day and reality struck I have been a bit hard on you Guys I am sure you are good people deep down and now the situation we Kiwi's find ourselves'.............. please come over and leave your dosh this side of the Tasman......and keep buying them rocks for the barbie......although it pains me to say it, we will be the winners and perhaps help pay a little toward the Train set that has no economic benefit to greater Auckland but benefits the egos of politicians,as well as tourists and overseas students.

All the best
