Should nz be a state to Australia

First, the cultures of the original inhabitants is different. A seagoing Polynesian Culture recently arrived in New Zealand, as against an ancient dry land nomadic indo-asian race in Australia.The geography is vastly different and the nature of Industries is also seperate.. The distance apart is also problematic. The only common factor is the settlement by White men in the 1700s.. As friends there is a lot of cooperation. But trying to draw the two together would raise all kinds of tensions..😷

Without much knowledge in the subject, I would assume New Zealanders are proud of their country and don't want be part of Australia.

I heard similar comments about Canada being part of the US. No, way.

Aussie should be a state of NZ

It was actually part of the Colony of New South Wales....but tyranny of distance back then etc etc and NZ being free settled soon parted ways. The door was also left open at (Australian) Federation but NZ declined.

One NZ Prime Minister in his comments on the numbers of immigrants from NZ heading to Australia is the the IQ of both countries would rise.

FYI about 10-12% of New Zealanders call Australia home. A lot of these are or in the process of becoming dual citizens.

Australia just want a better rugby team.

I've no idea what the benefits or cons are. I'm sure just a very strong alliance, militarily and otherwise, would suffice

1836 South Australia was proclaimed a State in it's own right. NZ at that time was part of New South Wales.

Laughed when I herd that on the news last night. Thought no from me.

The USA just proposed breaking Brazil into six or seven more NATO friendly mini countries. It's your second amendment right to redesign every nation for your next war.

the cultural divide has become immense since the 60s .. in many ways, but the first that springs to mind is the difference in tolerating/encouraging racism

No because these days Australia is effectively a puppet state of the USA just like Ukraine.

I thought it already was

O. Also remember the flag debate lol no brainer 🤯

Hmm, well, if they want to be, sure, why not?

Think so
