Mick's World

There has been some talk recently about New Zealand becoming a state of Australia.

On the news the other night they were talking about how MPs are talking about the possibilities. They also said that if we were to have a merger with NZ that we’d then get the best Rugby team in the world and they’d get the best Cricket team. Pretty funny to think of it like that.

Apart from those points there are benefits for trade, migration, currency, etc. I’m not sure if i entirely agree with the idea though, sure it would be great to have the pluses that have been stated by the pollys and media, but there would be plenty of negatives to go along with that. For the NZ people mainly, having a country of their own to become a state of another country seems a bit fascist.

Anyway i could only imagine if there was a merger and in a few generations time there would be a generation of half Aussie half Kiwi people. I can imagine people saying something like, (In a part Aussie, part Kiwi accent) “G’day mate, wanna grab some fush and chups eh bro”. That would be hilarious.

Check out the article Australian MPs suggest Australia and New Zealand unification for more reading on the topic.

To finish this entry i’ll give you a funny NZ joke (well funny for Aussies anyway). Most times that i meet a Kiwi i say this joke to them. I never get tired of this one. For those that don’t know there are ongoing jokes (and insults) exchanged between Aussies and New Zealanders, in particular about them like sheep, in a more than friendly way.

Q: How do Kiwis find sheep in long grass?

A: Fuckin unbelievable!
