Most Aussies i know and the general public at large usually only buy something when it has the "made in Australia" or "Australian owned" sticker on it. Plus the govt taxes import up the anus that even if you had no National Pride it would end up costing more anyway. Plus the new addition of the 10% digital goods tax added on top of it all.
It's a mythological cup that supposedly comes to Australia when we defeat NZ in the Rugby Union. They say it once come to Australia in the early part of the turn of the century.
OTPulse thanks for the heads up. Never heard of it. Good luck, Qld and northern NSW err, I mean "Australia", in you kinda sorta interstate (2 states v 1) rugby competition.
simon T If you ever decide to watch a Game of Rugby Union (Not Rugby League, that's a different game but similar)... Don't watch Aus v NZ it's embarrassing :-) haha
CrimsonDynamo : The Wallabies are pathetic at the moment. Too much political bullshit interfering with the player selection process & useless show off players. I don't think we'll ever have another Wallabies competitive side like we did during late 1990s to 2005.
It is, but it's important to note that Western Australia was a crown colony at the time (as was Fiji) so it was therefore not self-governing, but more importantly the economies of Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia were not in great shape, and joining meant subsidies coming from the other states.
The Australian economy is more advanced and NZ lags distantly behind ($67,458 compared to $41,555 GDP per capita). If NZ had joined Australia their economic development would be more in line with Australia's as you would have been provided with more benefits from Canberra than revenues you draw from your own population. But hey that was NZ's decision and we (in NSW) already pay for states that don't perform as well as us (e.g Tas, SA).
Wow man! You have pretty amazing content. I bet you're gonna be the next edu-tuber phenomena! It was very informative and was filled with good information, and contrary to what some say, its not offensive whatsoever.
+Skeptical Chris Believe me... Canadians "secretly envy" some of the privileges that USA has such more habitable lands with better weather and more established and urbanized cities. That's why so many Canadians venture into the US on month long vacations each year and yet less than 1/3 of Americans come up to Canada for any sort of vacation, unless it's a business trip or to escape a some sort of Criminal conviction. Can you believe it, a citizen of a country like the USA running all the way up here to Canada to seek asylum so he doesn't have to get arrested for some petty crime such as murder :-D More criminals coming into Canada. It's just laughable
"So why does Australia claim New Zealand as a state?".. Simple Answer.. It doesn't. It did when the wrote the Australian constitution because they were hoping to incorporate New Zealand at the time, but now they won't even give Kiwi's living over there welfare benefits, which they should be legally entitled to, given that New Zealand is labelled as a state in their constitution so Kiwi's should automatically be Australian citizens also, and New Zealand a self-governing territory. Until they remove our nation from their constitution, they are abusing the human rights of their own citizens. Not that New Zealand's National government isn't doing that anyway..
@@maddyyy64 if you have changed your nationality good for you, so now you are a oz, bugger that let's another immigrant into NZ, thought we might of got abit of space lol.
The Constitution gave kiwis the right to join the Federation...which they rejected. Despite all the moaning and whinging you kiwis do, we don't owe you anything. You have free access to migrate to Australia, and what you do here is up to you provided it's law-abiding. If you want to access Australian welfare benefits and other goodies, then naturally you need to become an Australian citizen...something most kiwi migrants seem to have very little interest in doing!
@@mikespearwood3914 I hear this argument that nz should enforce the same laws on Australian citizens in nz that Australia has enforced on nz citizens gaining citizenship in Australia but we shouldn't be like that. We should just double everything that Australia does to us over there. Plus they got the fire thing happening so I think no nz person would wanna live there they need the help of other countries now so they basically on their knees lol. Hahaha
Jesus, sorry dude but having a mention in the constitution doesn't make you Australian, you should be able to tell that by the fact that you don't answer to our federal government or vote in our elections, if you want to make use of our welfare system, try paying some taxes? Hey, the door's open if you want to come in. We already decided to give you guys plenty of privaleges.
Really, it was just a question of distance.But taking into account the different cultural influence of Aboriginal people in Australia, and Maori in New Zealand, the result has proven to be right. New Zealand has developed a different identity even if keeping the common English cultural past with Australia, the UK and Canada.
I would like to say, since I am Canadian and have visited the countries you are talking about. I have found that attitude-wise....Canadians and Kiwis are similar, while Aussies and Americans are similar. Just sayin!
+Amateur Brain Surgery Society Well, Canarian Isles are pretty far away from Spain. And so are the Netherlands Antilles from Netherlands. And you can't imagine how far Denmark and Greenland are.
+The reversed guy True - but that's all colonialism. Australia has never been a colonial power, unlike US, UK, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark... And there's no reason for NZ to be part of Aus OTHER than colonialism.
+Amateur Brain Surgery Society We were a colonial power, actually. Britain gave us Papua New Guinea after WW2, but it was given independence 20 years later because it's a worthless money sinkhole.
I have a question. Are Australians proud to be apart of British history? Do they like to be associated with Britain? I see Australians as still being very alike to us,for the obvious reasons I guess. I'd the feeling mutual? and do you mind that your country is becoming more Americanized? please correct me if I'm wrong.
As far as I know as an Australian, Australians are pretty content/indifferent to their British history, as we are with almost every other aspect of history, society and politics.
Jacob Rolwes are you American? Because if you are,I'm sad to make you aware of this but the rest of the world finds americans general attitude pretty fucking disgusting. I understand not all Americans are complete slobs and loudmouths. There is a terrible blame culture in the US and that's also wearing pretty thin
The_FACT_ory Thanks. By the way; your comments are being sent to spam for some reason. On bigger channels you might have problems getting heard because of that.
@Soliloquy you should do why west papua isnt part of RI ,how singapore isn part of the kindom of malaysia or why isnt aus isnt called new hollend but nz kept its name
Acka vic=Victorian. Victoria is one of the Australian states that joined the commonwealth of Australia at its formation, a federation that NZ has not joined yet.
@@BobJones20001 Are you being disingenuous? Most West Australians are further away from the majority of the Australian population than New Zealanders are. Perth is about the most isolated capital city and major population centre in the world. It's quicker to get to Indonesia from Perth than the east coast of Australia!
It is really a pity that you talk so fast in this video. This is a well- made video with the exception that it is darn hard to understand everything. Why not make it 2 minutes longer and make it brilliant?
I'm Australian and I'm pretty happy NZ is a seperate country and will continue to be so. Kiwis are always living in Australia but talking up NZ and how good it is. The interesting thing is none of them live there.
The population of kiwis in Australia is slowly growing as of 2015. It's still growing but a lot of us are going back because the mining booms finished. 2010 was the year most kiwis came with 26,000. In 2015 4,000 kiwis came and 7,000 left Australia. I have aunties in Queensland and ones already left and another has a kid that goes to school in New Zealand and a husband that works in New Zealand but she still lives here and I'll be leaving in atleast 5 months. We're all moving back because there are more jobs in New Zealand at the moment. Kiwis are loosing there jobs in the mines and don't get any benefits while looking for a new one because there foreigners so they would rather waste there money coming back then living poor in Australia.
Alot of differences. Money, taxes, liability, federalism, history, conservatism, xenophobic (Australia kinda have a reputation of being racist), climate, wages. These are just the large differences, there are loads of smaller ones too :D
Can someone help me? When he compares the distance between cities, he compares Amsterdam with other city.. What city is that? from which country? I don't fully get the name of this city
I think he is a septic and has that septic comic twang that isn't considered funny here in England. But he does put facts across well. It is a bit fast, but that is the nature of his lingo and style.
I like fast talking narrators, Some time i put youtube videos to 1.25 or 1.50 faster setting when people in them talk slow. You can get lot of info in short period of time.
Suggestions: 1) You could make a video about the independence of Ireland, if you hadn't done already. 2) How did the Kingdom of England became Great-Britain (Wales and Scotland)? 3) How did Brasil became so big when it was colonised by such small country (just look Brasil size vs Portugal, Brasil vs rest of south america, Portugal vs Spain)? 4) Why Uruguay is not part of Brasil or Argentina? 5) How did Mexico lost so much land to US, and oh, by the way, did you know that in treaty where Texas becomes a state of USA there's a provision that sets that Texas can split into 5 states, without the usual congressional procedures for such?
No it's important to bear in mind that we are talking about independent colonies here, so it could be argued that South Australia was just as progressive as NZ whereas Queensland was not.
What he actually said was that the kiwis are more chilled (eg easier to get along with) and thats his opinion - I dont have a lot of experience on this but I am inclined to agree, and I can think of a couple of reasons for it. 1.The Maori were an entirely different crew to the Australian aboriginal, Maoris had settled NZ relatively recently, they had traditions of warfare and seamanship and were a cohesive group. whereas the "Australian Aboriginals" were actually about 800 different nations some warlike, some not so much some hating and fighting with some tribes and so on. Not a cohesive group. The result of this is that they couldnt negotiate a treaty like the Maori did, The quite small tribe that first dealt with the invaders were very soon wiped out- they were pretty good fighters by all accounts but not a match for the british. The other nations didnt necessarily see that as an attack on their sovereignty, probably some of the closest tribes were thinking - great those bastards are gone we can stop worrying about them now. Doubly so the British had to bargain with the Maori and were forced to do it soon. 2. People settled NZ because they actually wanted to go there whereas Australia was a Penal Colony for a very long time before people realised what a great place it actually is. The result of this is not easy to explain but think about when a colony is set up - especially one at the farthest points possible, its hard to get good help, so all the institutions, police, political groups, movers of society etc are drawn from the general population which in Australia consisted of members of the Rum Corpse and Prisoners who had served there terms. Institutions such as armed forces and police and so on tend to develop and perpetuate a culture the existing culture shapes the attitudes of new recruits and so on. This is all conjecture on my part I will admit but I think it is only a matter of collecting some evidence and presenting it properly and it would at least be good to fuel a debate. Every five years or less, some scandalous exposee on Australian Police or politicians (eg 12 police bashing and tasering a half naked tourist to death, institutionalised child abuse by the NT corrections department, Whole NSW state3 government brought down when its proven they have all been taking bribes) - I dont know for sure if it happens similarly in NZ but I never hear anything like that coming from across the tasman. in New Zealand we see a much different picture. People settling there probably did so at great cost after much thought and were much more likely to make better police, politicians, post masters etc. And thus create a more chilled society than one that was based on prisoners and guards. I realise Im probably being a bit harsh on prisoners and guards but read about the Rum Corps and the soldiers and prisoners of the first fleets to Australia, they were a pretty rough crowd.
Are you talking about Manukau? Because though it is true that there is a plant here called Manuka, the city of Manukau was originally named after the nearby Manukau harbour. Which the natives named so because "Manukau" in native Maori means "Wading Birds". Very interesting video though, never knew that Canberra lane was originally reserved for Wellington.
+Mark Blaze yeah, I miss spoke. One day I might find time to remake the video but until then I've done the only thing I can do and put up an annotation for the computer viewers.
If New Zealand were to become a second state of Australia, it would have to be governed from Wellington. We have stable government in NZ, whereas, Australia have had 4 prime ministers in the last 4 years.
I made a video about Oswald Kulpe where I just read out the wikipedia article because I needed to practice my Spanish pronunciation. It got over 1000 views and people were very angry at me for not speaking Spanish well.. But it taught me the world is crying out for Oswald Kulpe videos (and that you should make practice videos private or fear the wrath of the general public) . There were a lot of wacky experiments at the founding of psychology and people have to study them in college so they'd be looking for a fun video to make it less boring, it might be a good topic if you find it interesting.
Well that is the point this video missed entirety NZ have formed from the founding document of 1840 while the separate colonies (now states) acted independently. Some rather silly behaviour was in play such as different rail gauges etc. So a merger was mooted and these states decided to federate into a single entity from 1903. This has been partly successful, in the 1970s a common rail gauge was achieved. There is still however no such thing as an Australian drivers licence, there are still 7 different governments, and many of the objectives of federating are yet to be achieved. For instance border controls are often enforced between one patch of endless sandy desert and another endless patch. Australia is however recognised as one country by those outside the country, living in Australia you know that's not actually the case. NZ joining the federation would have been a mistake and history shows it was never taken seriously. The behaviour of Australia's individual states indicates that even Australia hasn't taken it too seriously.
@Kula Cnt I doubt the maoris would of eaten you, they liked people with mana and not white so you'd be safe lol, opposing chiefs was the high mark, not criminals but men of honour, definitely wouldn't eat you.
Yeah but it was after NSW and Tasmania. Matter of fact, all of the Australian colonies were founded before Australia, since that's how federations work, New Zealand was just the colony that didn't decide to tag along.
I find this quite interesting, but you speak so rapidly and clipped that I find it difficult to understand what you're saying some of the time. Sorry! You might blame this on my being a Yank, but please note that my wife is a Brit and I have no trouble understanding her. Well, most of the time, anyway. :-)
+Cellar Door That's funny, the most recent stats from your government say that "meat and edible offal" is exported mostly to the US, EU and China and you guys don't do live exports anymore so I'm not sure what sheep products you're sending here.

At 3:40 you say that Canberra Ave leads to a town called Manukau, named after the Auckland suburb. The town in Canberra is actually called Manuka which is not an Auckland suburb. Just wanted to clear that up.
I half suspect that the one of reasons relations between Europeans and Maori/Aborigines evolved so differently is because the Maori put up a reasonably organised defence, whereas the Aborigines defence was on a more individual tribe level (and it could have been different; apparently the early Sydney colony had quite good relations with the Aborigines on the southern shoreline).
you could have made the video a couple of minutes longer and slowed down! especially if you want to appeal to a global audience considering you have a heavy accent. What was the rush??
New Zealanders had to pay to go there but most Australians, like early American settlers, were convicts and were transported there for free. Today New Zealand has intelligent educated people running the country and the world's greatest rugby team. Australia is run by public schoolboys who can barely read and tax the poor to give to the rich and the rugby team is coached by a barrow boy who cannot read well enough to understand the rules.
Ai Rui Sheng there's more to life than rugby you idiot. Our country is far greater than yours Will ever be, and we actually have an impact on world affairs, unlike NZ
Ai Rui Sheng and Australia isn't? They probably thought New Zealand was apart of Australia when the decided on this council, and were surprised to find out New Zealand was a separate country. We fought massively with the Americans in Te past few years, and have early respect. New Zealand however, has not
The Treaty of Waitangi is not a "founding document" or anything if the kind. If any documents can be considered foundational to New Zealand's political and legal system, it would be the Imperial Statutes, including the Magna Carter and 1688 Bill of Rights.
A nice informative video. Appreciate it. BUT it could have been better if the narrator didn't rush through it at 100 mph. DEAR NARRATOR, PLS TALK SLOWLY & CLEARY in your next video. Thanks. Your Kiwi accent is fine, you just need to pace & emphasise words more considerately.
Something like 1 in 5 kiwis already live in Australia. We have no problem with that, we see them as brothers. We don't see them as a 'state' of Australia, but we definitely hold them closer than any other country. Hence the Trans-Tasman agreement that allows us to live in each other's countries. The only cultural difference is that they're a bit more 'English' than us - they're much more polite and calm. The Australian sense of humour is a lot ruder and being a bigger country, our post-colonial identity is a lot more developed and independent.

+lazyperfectionist1 It was a contributing factor, but in the late 1800s that probably made more sense than it does now. Today NZ has its own identity and so really has no desire to join with Australia.
What Captain Russell didn't mention in his reasons for NZ not wanting to be part of an Australasian federation is that many New Zealanders looked down on Australians because of our convict origins.
So they have dragons in New Zealand? Did I understand him to say that they DON"T have the spiders, snakes, and giant Salt Water Crocodiles that make Australia so terrifying?
New Zealand has no snakes, at all, you're not even allowed them as pets. There are some small populations of spiders (like the Red Back) but they are not super common. We are more of a bird kind of place than a reptile kind of place.
Soliloquy That's nice. That sure makes New Zealand superior to Australia. There's so many deadly things in Australia that it's a wonder anyone survives to adulthood. Not sure about Tasmania. Tasmania does have "Devils." What's the thing with sheep though? Is there big money in sheep?
Its a standing joke the sheep one. We have great agricultural land and We had about 40-50 million sheep here at one time to 3.5 million people. Hence the remark "Sheep and more sheep"
we don't call New Zealand a state of Australia... it's ignorant foreigners who often mix everything up tho there is a law in which New Zealand can become an Australian state if it's economy collapses, which I don't see happening anytime soon
Good job man. Hence why NZers shudder at the term white and black. We don't consider people of european decent as "white" and polynesians and austronesians as "black".
+Draco Venit Im from NZ. People use those terms often, certainly the "white" term. Black might not be used as much because Polynesians arent really black, they are more brown.
Some people are beginning to use the term "white", I set them straight whenever I have the chance. White is meaningless to us. It does not refer to a cultural group, to practices, or even to genetics. In NZ when I refer to white people (which is very rarely) I'm talking about White Americans. As it has some meaning in the American context as they have created the dichotomy which has meaning. I'm not white, your not white. If anything we are Pakeha, or British NZers, or European NZers (or even better we are the suburb of AK we come from) we are not "white". That is as foolish as telling a Maori he is "black". Calling pakeha white and maori and pacifika black is meaningless. We are not Americans, or Australians. We do not put emphasis on that dichotomy. That is the real point to be made. "Black might not used as much as they are not black"... that is only part of it. The other part is that it is not part of our traditional NZ culture. Also notice that it is SJW's and privileged young adults who use the term white along with ignorant people who identify as "black"... this is due to their attachment to American culture and complete dissociation with NZ culture. They don't even know who they are, so they consider themselves white or non-white, rather than NZer and the multiple races and cultures which formed them. "Black" and "white" are the opposite of power words in NZ, in fact they strip NZers of their culture and place in the world. Unlike in the US where it affirms and divides people alike.
I think your reading far too much into this. "Im not white, your not white." I'm fairly certain the color of my skin is white. Your trying to attach some sort of cultural thing to words that simply describe what the colour of a persons skin is. You also seem to think theres some vast difference between NZ and American culture. We're actually very similar to Americans whether we like it or not. The UK, US, Australia, NZ and Canada are 90% the same in terms of culture. The other 10% is the slight uniqueness each country has.
Is your skin actually white? I would doubt that. White does have meaning to Americans, it does imply culture and a wide range of assumptions. When they say white they are speaking of a race-cultural construct which is inseparable. They have a long history of black vs white. We do not. We have pakeha vs tangata whenua, however not in the extreme dichotomy of that in the US. In NZ you can be Maori without having dark skin, in NZ you can be a "kiwi" with any skin colour. I've seen SJWs and fascists alike use the term "white" in NZ, and I check them when I can. We should not succumb to the discourse of other nations. We are our own country, those with British and European ancestry are not white, just like Maori are not Black. Maori who identify as "black" are a sign of American Neo-colonialism, or rather cultural pollution. To say you are white is to wash away all your ancestors cultures and assume the American construct of "white".
***** It is nice that you do not see white or black as being a cultural thing. As Americans and some others do actually see black and white to actually mean something other than skin colour, they think it means something about their culture. I'm not trying to put some sort of "cultural thing" with race ("skin colour"), I'm trying to tell you that people do assume "cultural things" about race. That is my issue with the terms. Who do you hear using the term "white"? What sorts of people? If you could choose one which would you select to represent your identity: "white", "pakeha", "british NZer", "NZer" or "european NZer"?
+Aaron Moffatt I see what you mean. All the state's of Australia were separate with their own governments even earlier. If not for federation they may well have stayed separate and become countries in their own right. New Zealand simply held the same status. New Zealand was governed as part of New South Wales for quite a long time too. I think people tend to forget how shared our history really is. A great portion of white Kiwis are descendants of people who were in Australia first then went to New Zealand. I'm one of those people.
and nz done nothing in all that time before aus "offically" became a country while aus powered ahead with infrastructure and people actually wanting to come and live here..nz 4.5 mil people in 170 yrs..pathetic
Absolutely, a very deliberate reference, but I think you're the first to comment on it ;) - there is also a mention of Hello Internet in the idioms video.
+Dannys99887 this guy speaking is probably a kiwi or an educated Aussie. kiwis,Aussies and pomes can understand each other perfectly because we all speak Queen's English. we can even understand American English as its very close,as long as you don't use that trash street talk that so many of your non white members tend to use
"your non white members" I was with you up to that point.. American Ebonics is a very cool, very modern evolution of the English language. No point in trying to fight it, homes.
No such thing as American English . They use the majority of the same words , but some descriptive words differ such as Faucet (tap ) . Should we start referring to Australian English ( esky ) or New Zealand English ( chilly bin ) ? ; same thing , different name .
Asking this question is almost is silly as asking why Bosnia isn't part of Serbia. We prefer to be separate, special snowflakes. Some parts of the world would happy if every house was its own nation.
+Uthren Llaram Just how different is different enough tho? What about Kosovo? What about Bulgaria and Macedonia? Yugoslavia made no sense and all Slavs becoming one (=becoming Russians) doesn't make sense either. But we can't also let every house be a different nation just because -of propaganda- they want to. People on the Balkan don't get that it's not their neighbour that's the hostile force.
We'd have the perfect country if instead of Aussies living in Aus it were Kiwis. Because as a Maori whos visited Australia I have to say NZ Europeans are far more chilled and accepting than Australian Europeans. And the Maori culture is cooler than Aboriginal culture.
Of course it is racist.. He is claiming cultural superiority of the maori people over the aboriginal people.. You cannot more racist then that..Super Fiery Mega Rainbow Unicorn of Fantastic Awesomeness
He said he prefers one culture over another. He didnt say they were genetically superior. You dont know what racism is. Racism has to do with RACE not culture. And culture is completely subjective.
What does the narrator say at ua-cam.com/video/BIwzCbyP2Q0/v-deo.html ? It sounds like he says "...one thoroughly decimated smalk." I can't find such a word anywhere. Perhaps his accent is misleading to me. Clues?
During the so called "Maori Wars" 2600 Australian Colonial Soldiers under Kawana Karei fought against the Hauhau forces. They received medals in that campaign as they refer to it which included atrocities such as the massacre at Rangiriri Pa. So don't ever think that, that stand alone incident in CHCH was the first and only time when the convict invaded and 'shot us in the back'. This instance was much worse because the Crown awarded their so called acts of bravery with valour medals. Came across that juicy bit of information in a museum in Sydney.
I laughed so hard when he said Australia's flag looks completely different. 0:35 New Zealanders never stop making me laugh with their little bro vs big bro routine, literally no one in Australia cares what new Zealanders say or think.
Australia and New Zealand are similar, we originate from the same mother country and have fought together in nearly every conflict we enter. However Australia is considerably larger with over 23 million people, the largest military in the region, international influence, the 12th largest economy in the world and is considered a continent as well as a country. New Zealand however has a population of over 4 million, a very small military (depends on Australia and America), next to no international influence, a small economy and a small land area. You can debate all you want but Australia is clearly several levels above New Zealand.
Andrew Economous So does Australia, we just have both quantity and quality if it comes to a fight with New Zealand. A good economy, but small when compared to Australia and other world powers. You are well liked but you have little influence.
Andrew Economous A lot through friendship and not Xenophobia? WTF are you trying to say? The Australian army is one of the most advanced and highly trained in the world. Whaaaat? well good I won't ever have to talk to you again because our desert is pretty much remaining the same. I think you have Australia and Sub-Saharan Africa mixed up there....Oh and Australian education is better, we learn geography.
+Andrew Economous Dude the Australian army is the best trained military in the world, and NZ gets similar military training to us here in Australia because our countries fight together in wars and due to the ANZAC treaty
We went to NZ one month ago. In Auckland, everyone we saw was either Asian or Indian. travelling around, all small business was owned by Indians or Chinese. The Auckland harbour front was a disgrace. Petrol on the South Island was $2.40 almost double Australian prices. Australia deported 2800 Kiwis in the past two years and soon both countries may decide against open entry, and visas will be required, this will be due to refugees using NZ as a back door to OZ.
I wish the world with Aboriginal issues (roughy The Americas, Pasific (+ Australia), and North Africa) would look to NZ as an example as Maori have self government ish AND seats in parliment (not quite up to population but better to have some than nothing, and its no different than Scotland in UK as the parliment isn't quite by population).
Maori seats are an archaic and entirely irrelevant hangover; the sooner they are abolished the better. Besides, who qualifies to vote for these seats? 1/8th blood? 1/32 blood? 1/64? It's so arbitrary.
+psammiad Honestly, I had to pause the video at that exact moment just to see if someone else had spotted it. And with that, I shall continue my viewing. PS: Happy to see a nice reply there from Soliloquy :)
+Marc Telfer I'm happy my response was adequate; although sometimes it would be nice if UA-cam allowed us to actually swap out the video for a corrected one (but totally get why they don't)
+Soliloquy Yeah, it would be nice, but I think in this instance you've been quite fortunate in still getting a positive reply to the mistake. The rest of the video is so interesting that it was just a chuckle-causing sidenote :)
Which would you say is the right pronunciation? I'm not used to hearing it, but I never heard anyone pronouncing greenwich like the color, but yes gren, I actually heard it from a brit today saying that way. I just checked what google translator suggests and it said the same way, like "gren'itch"
I don't think that NZ would want to join Australia today. Interesting what could have been, there have been many reasons why NZ didn't join. Very good historical curiosity of what could have been, what about Fiji joining Australia. If NZ were to join Australia today, how seats would it have in the House, and would it have 12 seats in Australia's Senate. It is best for Australia and NZ to be separate countries and continue to work together on common interests and issues.
+Dannys99887 the guy was not speaking fast.let's not forget that americans don't have thier own language(USA),they speak ENGLISH. Britain has many regional dialects and some are hard to understand for others and Scots don't speak English,they speak English tainted by Scottish and they make things hard to understand. I can't help it if you are a little slow and are hampered by being an american
Well, when we defeated the British Empire in 1776, the USA became the final arbiter of all things "English," even though we decided to leave the King on the British throne and not make Britain the 14th state. Americans do tend to speak somewhat slowly, and in some areas of the deep South (da land of cotton), it takes about 5 seconds per syllable. But surely even in New Zealand, they don't pronounce "Greenwich" as Grin-Witch.
Australia and New Zealand are like big and little brothers. We fight and make fun of each other but deep down we love one another.
+Daniel Leech So true
+Nano_Ranger definitely. As soon as another country offends Au or NZ the other country comes in to back it up :)
Love from Australia
So true and also the older bro is clearly nz
They even share a army lol
There is only one thing New Zealanders & Australia have in Common,
Online shopping is very hard because everything is basically American

They're both being over populated by Asians?
If New Zealand joins to become Australia, I'm pretty sure that's the only way Australia will ever win the Bledisloe back.
I'm an Australian. What is "the bledisloe"?
It's a mythological cup that supposedly comes to Australia when we defeat NZ in the Rugby Union. They say it once come to Australia in the early part of the turn of the century.
OTPulse thanks for the heads up. Never heard of it. Good luck, Qld and northern NSW err, I mean "Australia", in you kinda sorta interstate (2 states v 1) rugby competition.
simon T If you ever decide to watch a Game of Rugby Union (Not Rugby League, that's a different game but similar)... Don't watch Aus v NZ it's embarrassing :-) haha
CrimsonDynamo : The Wallabies are pathetic at the moment. Too much political bullshit interfering with the player selection process & useless show off players.
I don't think we'll ever have another Wallabies competitive side like we did during late 1990s to 2005.
The real question is:
*Why isn't Australia part of New Zealand*
They were once, but New Zealand rejected them. Recent events have proved them to be right.
We dont want them
cause nz doesn't have enough money or man power to overtake aus
Why would we take over a country that try's to kill you constently we dont want or need Australia they are the b team just a bunch of convicts
@@jjjjj2220 why do all you idiots move here then if its so bad..cause nz has no jobs and zero money
It's further from Sydney to Perth than from Sydney to Wellington.
It is, but it's important to note that Western Australia was a crown colony at the time (as was Fiji) so it was therefore not self-governing, but more importantly the economies of Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia were not in great shape, and joining meant subsidies coming from the other states.
The Australian economy is more advanced and NZ lags distantly behind ($67,458 compared to $41,555 GDP per capita). If NZ had joined Australia their economic development would be more in line with Australia's as you would have been provided with more benefits from Canberra than revenues you draw from your own population. But hey that was NZ's decision and we (in NSW) already pay for states that don't perform as well as us (e.g Tas, SA).

I've always wondered why America, isn't a part of Canada.
Americans always want what Canadians have, low crime, less violence, health care....
+Skeptical Chris More like why Canada isn't a part of the US. (It almost happened actually)
...
+Skeptical Chris Canada is a commonwealth country, remember that the USA revolted against the British empire
+Skeptical Chris XD
+Skeptical Chris Believe me... Canadians "secretly envy" some of the privileges that USA has such more habitable lands with better weather and more established and urbanized cities. That's why so many Canadians venture into the US on month long vacations each year and yet less than 1/3 of Americans come up to Canada for any sort of vacation, unless it's a business trip or to escape a some sort of Criminal conviction. Can you believe it, a citizen of a country like the USA running all the way up here to Canada to seek asylum so he doesn't have to get arrested for some petty crime such as murder :-D More criminals coming into Canada. It's just laughable
This video is for the Northern Hemisphere. Everyone from New Zealand and Australia are laughing at you.
Yep, we are
Yep
True that lol
Mom why are up slide down people laughing at me
Lol the guy who made this video is a New Zealander. you are stupid
"So why does Australia claim New Zealand as a state?".. Simple Answer.. It doesn't. It did when the wrote the Australian constitution because they were hoping to incorporate New Zealand at the time, but now they won't even give Kiwi's living over there welfare benefits, which they should be legally entitled to, given that New Zealand is labelled as a state in their constitution so Kiwi's should automatically be Australian citizens also, and New Zealand a self-governing territory.
Until they remove our nation from their constitution, they are abusing the human rights of their own citizens. Not that New Zealand's National government isn't doing that anyway..
Kiwi use to wait 10 years to become an Australian citizen, until they changed it this year.
@@maddyyy64 if you have changed your nationality good for you, so now you are a oz, bugger that let's another immigrant into NZ, thought we might of got abit of space lol.
The Constitution gave kiwis the right to join the Federation...which they rejected. Despite all the moaning and whinging you kiwis do, we don't owe you anything. You have free access to migrate to Australia, and what you do here is up to you provided it's law-abiding. If you want to access Australian welfare benefits and other goodies, then naturally you need to become an Australian citizen...something most kiwi migrants seem to have very little interest in doing!
@@mikespearwood3914 I hear this argument that nz should enforce the same laws on Australian citizens in nz that Australia has enforced on nz citizens gaining citizenship in Australia but we shouldn't be like that. We should just double everything that Australia does to us over there. Plus they got the fire thing happening so I think no nz person would wanna live there they need the help of other countries now so they basically on their knees lol. Hahaha
Jesus, sorry dude but having a mention in the constitution doesn't make you Australian, you should be able to tell that by the fact that you don't answer to our federal government or vote in our elections, if you want to make use of our welfare system, try paying some taxes?

If Australia joined NZ it would feralise NZ beyond repair..
Really, it was just a question of distance.But taking into account the different cultural influence of Aboriginal people in Australia, and Maori in New Zealand, the result has proven to be right. New Zealand has developed a different identity even if keeping the common English cultural past with Australia, the UK and Canada.
How so with Canada?
With the English part of Canada.
Ahora ya What about the English-speaking part of the US?
I would like to say, since I am Canadian and have visited the countries you are talking about. I have found that attitude-wise....Canadians and Kiwis are similar, while Aussies and Americans are similar. Just sayin!
There really isn't a huge difference between Canadians and Americans.
"Why isn’t New Zealand part of Australia anyway?"
Because there's thousands of miles of ocean between them. Pretty obvious.
+Amateur Brain Surgery Society ooooh. Like Hawaii?
+Hilts931 Sure, but Hawaii's only an American state because of American colonialism. It's not like Aus ever invaded - or should invade - NZ.
+Amateur Brain Surgery Society Well, Canarian Isles are pretty far away from Spain. And so are the Netherlands Antilles from Netherlands. And you can't imagine how far Denmark and Greenland are.
+The reversed guy True - but that's all colonialism. Australia has never been a colonial power, unlike US, UK, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark... And there's no reason for NZ to be part of Aus OTHER than colonialism.
+Amateur Brain Surgery Society We were a colonial power, actually. Britain gave us Papua New Guinea after WW2, but it was given independence 20 years later because it's a worthless money sinkhole.
I have a question. Are Australians proud to be apart of British history? Do they like to be associated with Britain? I see Australians as still being very alike to us,for the obvious reasons I guess. I'd the feeling mutual? and do you mind that your country is becoming more Americanized? please correct me if I'm wrong.
+dave brumby I'm not from New Zealand, but what's wrong with a country being americanized?
+Jacob Rolwes because Australia and NZ have cultures of their own and Americanism is wiping them out like a virus.
As far as I know as an Australian, Australians are pretty content/indifferent to their British history, as we are with almost every other aspect of history, society and politics.
I suppose that makes sense. I woudn't call it a virus though.
Jacob Rolwes are you American? Because if you are,I'm sad to make you aware of this but the rest of the world finds americans general attitude pretty fucking disgusting. I understand not all Americans are complete slobs and loudmouths. There is a terrible blame culture in the US and that's also wearing pretty thin

The reason why NZ isn’t part of Australia is because we have a seperate continent
It's not New Zealand, it's called Middle Earth.
Or Middle Zealand, according to LEGO.

lol
Preach it, bro! 🙏
I'm Australian and I'm pretty happy NZ is a seperate country and will continue to be so.
Kiwis are always living in Australia but talking up NZ and how good it is. The interesting thing is none of them live there.
I went to NZ once. It was choice.... Bro.
Didnt need to mention you were an Aussie. Because one can spot a fuckwit a mile away.
Seriously though, it was really nice and so were the people.
The population of kiwis in Australia is slowly growing as of 2015. It's still growing but a lot of us are going back because the mining booms finished. 2010 was the year most kiwis came with 26,000. In 2015 4,000 kiwis came and 7,000 left Australia. I have aunties in Queensland and ones already left and another has a kid that goes to school in New Zealand and a husband that works in New Zealand but she still lives here and I'll be leaving in atleast 5 months. We're all moving back because there are more jobs in New Zealand at the moment. Kiwis are loosing there jobs in the mines and don't get any benefits while looking for a new one because there foreigners so they would rather waste there money coming back then living poor in Australia.
So kind of like what Mexicans, Italians, Canadians, British, French, Latin Americans, Asians, and Indians do in the United States...I know your pain.
New Zealand is not part of Australia, because, New Zealand did not want Australia

NZ and Australia are very different to each other so I don't see them joining together

thanks for your suggestions. and for watching and commenting. Also I did know that Texas can split into 5 states if it wants to :)
In compendium, the Aussies were racists and Kiwis were not :P
Wow, it's like the difference between the American North and South.
No it's important to bear in mind that we are talking about independent colonies here, so it could be argued that South Australia was just as progressive as NZ whereas Queensland was not.
What he actually said was that the kiwis are more chilled (eg easier to get along with) and thats his opinion - I dont have a lot of experience on this but I am inclined to agree, and I can think of a couple of reasons for it.
1.The Maori were an entirely different crew to the Australian aboriginal, Maoris had settled NZ relatively recently, they had traditions of warfare and seamanship and were a cohesive group.
whereas the "Australian Aboriginals" were actually about 800 different nations some warlike, some not so much some hating and fighting with some tribes and so on. Not a cohesive group.
The result of this is that they couldnt negotiate a treaty like the Maori did, The quite small tribe that first dealt with the invaders were very soon wiped out- they were pretty good fighters by all accounts but not a match for the british. The other nations didnt necessarily see that as an attack on their sovereignty, probably some of the closest tribes were thinking - great those bastards are gone we can stop worrying about them now.
Doubly so the British had to bargain with the Maori and were forced to do it soon.
2. People settled NZ because they actually wanted to go there whereas Australia was a Penal Colony for a very long time before people realised what a great place it actually is.
The result of this is not easy to explain but think about when a colony is set up - especially one at the farthest points possible, its hard to get good help, so all the institutions, police, political groups, movers of society etc are drawn from the general population which in Australia consisted of members of the Rum Corpse and Prisoners who had served there terms. Institutions such as armed forces and police and so on tend to develop and perpetuate a culture the existing culture shapes the attitudes of new recruits and so on. This is all conjecture on my part I will admit but I think it is only a matter of collecting some evidence and presenting it properly and it would at least be good to fuel a debate. Every five years or less, some scandalous exposee on Australian Police or politicians (eg 12 police bashing and tasering a half naked tourist to death, institutionalised child abuse by the NT corrections department, Whole NSW state3 government brought down when its proven they have all been taking bribes) - I dont know for sure if it happens similarly in NZ but I never hear anything like that coming from across the tasman.
in New Zealand we see a much different picture. People settling there probably did so at great cost after much thought and were much more likely to make better police, politicians, post masters etc. And thus create a more chilled society than one that was based on prisoners and guards.
I realise Im probably being a bit harsh on prisoners and guards but read about the Rum Corps and the soldiers and prisoners of the first fleets to Australia, they were a pretty rough crowd.
That’s a bit strong......
You mean the British?
Are you talking about Manukau? Because though it is true that there is a plant here called Manuka, the city of Manukau was originally named after the nearby Manukau harbour. Which the natives named so because "Manukau" in native Maori means "Wading Birds". Very interesting video though, never knew that Canberra lane was originally reserved for Wellington.
+Mark Blaze yeah, I miss spoke. One day I might find time to remake the video but until then I've done the only thing I can do and put up an annotation for the computer viewers.
If New Zealand were to become a second state of Australia, it would have to be governed from Wellington. We have stable government in NZ, whereas, Australia have had 4 prime ministers in the last 4 years.
5 :P
+gsf67 yes Wellington's really stable. It's threatening to fall into the sea any day now. The big one's long overdue.

I made a video about Oswald Kulpe where I just read out the wikipedia article because I needed to practice my Spanish pronunciation. It got over 1000 views and people were very angry at me for not speaking Spanish well.. But it taught me the world is crying out for Oswald Kulpe videos (and that you should make practice videos private or fear the wrath of the general public) . There were a lot of wacky experiments at the founding of psychology and people have to study them in college so they'd be looking for a fun video to make it less boring, it might be a good topic if you find it interesting.
New zealand was delcared long before australia was.
Well that is the point this video missed entirety
NZ have formed from the founding document of 1840 while the separate colonies (now states) acted independently. Some rather silly behaviour was in play such as different rail gauges etc. So a merger was mooted and these states decided to federate into a single entity from 1903. This has been partly successful, in the 1970s a common rail gauge was achieved. There is still however no such thing as an Australian drivers licence, there are still 7 different governments, and many of the objectives of federating are yet to be achieved. For instance border controls are often enforced between one patch of endless sandy desert and another endless patch. Australia is however recognised as one country by those outside the country, living in Australia you know that's not actually the case. NZ joining the federation would have been a mistake and history shows it was never taken seriously. The behaviour of Australia's individual states indicates that even Australia hasn't taken it too seriously.
Declared what?
@Kula Cnt I doubt the maoris would of eaten you, they liked people with mana and not white so you'd be safe lol, opposing chiefs was the high mark, not criminals but men of honour, definitely wouldn't eat you.
Yeah but it was after NSW and Tasmania. Matter of fact, all of the Australian colonies were founded before Australia, since that's how federations work, New Zealand was just the colony that didn't decide to tag along.
I find this quite interesting, but you speak so rapidly and clipped that I find it difficult to understand what you're saying some of the time. Sorry! You might blame this on my being a Yank, but please note that my wife is a Brit and I have no trouble understanding her. Well, most of the time, anyway. :-)
Totally understand, I speak fast and at the time of making this video I was using a very cheap microphone.
WE WILL NEVER JOIN AUSTRALIA

Because we don't want our sheep raped.
just remember that we export our raped sheep to oz, something you might want to think about when you have that Sunday Lamb roast lmao
We have plenty of our own sheep in Australia, if you're exporting them here then you're doing economics wrong.
+Cellar Door That's funny, the most recent stats from your government say that "meat and edible offal" is exported mostly to the US, EU and China and you guys don't do live exports anymore so I'm not sure what sheep products you're sending here.

At 3:40 you say that Canberra Ave leads to a town called Manukau, named after the Auckland suburb. The town in Canberra is actually called Manuka which is not an Auckland suburb. Just wanted to clear that up.
+Grayson Leversha Well spotted, thanks for pointing it out. I added an annotation pointing out the error for future viewers.
Grayson Leversha lmao manuka is a nz honey
New Zealanders didn’t want Australia
I half suspect that the one of reasons relations between Europeans and Maori/Aborigines evolved so differently is because the Maori put up a reasonably organised defence, whereas the Aborigines defence was on a more individual tribe level (and it could have been different; apparently the early Sydney colony had quite good relations with the Aborigines on the southern shoreline).
Australia and New Zealand are seperate countries and entities.
They sure are and Nz loves it that way 😊
And culture.
A fascinating presentation! Thanks.

New Zealanders had to pay to go there but most Australians, like early American settlers, were convicts and were transported there for free.
Today New Zealand has intelligent educated people running the country and the world's greatest rugby team. Australia is run by public schoolboys who can barely read and tax the poor to give to the rich and the rugby team is coached by a barrow boy who cannot read well enough to understand the rules.
So basicly all you care about is rugby? Also our Univeristies rank way higher than yours.
Ai Rui Sheng there's more to life than rugby you idiot. Our country is far greater than yours Will ever be, and we actually have an impact on world affairs, unlike NZ
So why is NZL on the Security Council again?
Ai Rui Sheng and Australia isn't? They probably thought New Zealand was apart of Australia when the decided on this council, and were surprised to find out New Zealand was a separate country. We fought massively with the Americans in Te past few years, and have early respect. New Zealand however, has not
Ai Rui Sheng - wow, temporary seat on the UN Security Council. A big deal for pretend countries.
The Treaty of Waitangi is not a "founding document" or anything if the kind. If any documents can be considered foundational to New Zealand's political and legal system, it would be the Imperial Statutes, including the Magna Carter and 1688 Bill of Rights.

Something like 1 in 5 kiwis already live in Australia. We have no problem with that, we see them as brothers. We don't see them as a 'state' of Australia, but we definitely hold them closer than any other country. Hence the Trans-Tasman agreement that allows us to live in each other's countries. The only cultural difference is that they're a bit more 'English' than us - they're much more polite and calm. The Australian sense of humour is a lot ruder and being a bigger country, our post-colonial identity is a lot more developed and independent.

Let me see if I understand. You are saying that the main reason New Zealand is not part of Australia is that it is just a little too far away?
+lazyperfectionist1 It was a contributing factor, but in the late 1800s that probably made more sense than it does now. Today NZ has its own identity and so really has no desire to join with Australia.
can't believe you pronounced Greenwich "Gren-witch" - it's "Gren-itch" :-)
David Guy so the w?

What Captain Russell didn't mention in his reasons for NZ not wanting to be part of an Australasian federation is that many New Zealanders looked down on Australians because of our convict origins.

Smaug the dragon from the hobbit
So they have dragons in New Zealand? Did I understand him to say that they DON"T have the spiders, snakes, and giant Salt Water Crocodiles that make Australia so terrifying?
New Zealand has no snakes, at all, you're not even allowed them as pets. There are some small populations of spiders (like the Red Back) but they are not super common. We are more of a bird kind of place than a reptile kind of place.
Soliloquy
That's nice. That sure makes New Zealand superior to Australia. There's so many deadly things in Australia that it's a wonder anyone survives to adulthood. Not sure about Tasmania. Tasmania does have "Devils."
What's the thing with sheep though? Is there big money in sheep?
Its a standing joke the sheep one. We have great agricultural land and We had about 40-50 million sheep here at one time to 3.5 million people. Hence the remark "Sheep and more sheep"
we don't call New Zealand a state of Australia... it's ignorant foreigners who often mix everything up
tho there is a law in which New Zealand can become an Australian state if it's economy collapses, which I don't see happening anytime soon

Good job man. Hence why NZers shudder at the term white and black. We don't consider people of european decent as "white" and polynesians and austronesians as "black".
+Draco Venit Im from NZ. People use those terms often, certainly the "white" term. Black might not be used as much because Polynesians arent really black, they are more brown.
Some people are beginning to use the term "white", I set them straight whenever I have the chance. White is meaningless to us. It does not refer to a cultural group, to practices, or even to genetics. In NZ when I refer to white people (which is very rarely) I'm talking about White Americans. As it has some meaning in the American context as they have created the dichotomy which has meaning.
I'm not white, your not white. If anything we are Pakeha, or British NZers, or European NZers (or even better we are the suburb of AK we come from) we are not "white". That is as foolish as telling a Maori he is "black". Calling pakeha white and maori and pacifika black is meaningless. We are not Americans, or Australians. We do not put emphasis on that dichotomy. That is the real point to be made.
"Black might not used as much as they are not black"... that is only part of it. The other part is that it is not part of our traditional NZ culture.
Also notice that it is SJW's and privileged young adults who use the term white along with ignorant people who identify as "black"... this is due to their attachment to American culture and complete dissociation with NZ culture. They don't even know who they are, so they consider themselves white or non-white, rather than NZer and the multiple races and cultures which formed them.
"Black" and "white" are the opposite of power words in NZ, in fact they strip NZers of their culture and place in the world. Unlike in the US where it affirms and divides people alike.
I think your reading far too much into this. "Im not white, your not white." I'm fairly certain the color of my skin is white. Your trying to attach some sort of cultural thing to words that simply describe what the colour of a persons skin is. You also seem to think theres some vast difference between NZ and American culture. We're actually very similar to Americans whether we like it or not. The UK, US, Australia, NZ and Canada are 90% the same in terms of culture. The other 10% is the slight uniqueness each country has.
Is your skin actually white? I would doubt that. White does have meaning to Americans, it does imply culture and a wide range of assumptions. When they say white they are speaking of a race-cultural construct which is inseparable. They have a long history of black vs white. We do not. We have pakeha vs tangata whenua, however not in the extreme dichotomy of that in the US. In NZ you can be Maori without having dark skin, in NZ you can be a "kiwi" with any skin colour. I've seen SJWs and fascists alike use the term "white" in NZ, and I check them when I can. We should not succumb to the discourse of other nations. We are our own country, those with British and European ancestry are not white, just like Maori are not Black. Maori who identify as "black" are a sign of American Neo-colonialism, or rather cultural pollution. To say you are white is to wash away all your ancestors cultures and assume the American construct of "white".

It is nice that you do not see white or black as being a cultural thing. As Americans and some others do actually see black and white to actually mean something other than skin colour, they think it means something about their culture.
I'm not trying to put some sort of "cultural thing" with race ("skin colour"), I'm trying to tell you that people do assume "cultural things" about race. That is my issue with the terms.
Who do you hear using the term "white"? What sorts of people?
If you could choose one which would you select to represent your identity: "white", "pakeha", "british NZer", "NZer" or "european NZer"?
WE ARE NOT APART OF AUSTRALIA GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE
This is crap. New Zealand was a country before Australia.
+Aaron Moffatt how was it?
New Zealand's first prime minister Henry Sewell was in 1856, Australia became an official nation in 1901.
Mannon Howard Also you can just google it "when did new zealand become a country" and you will find 1840.
+Aaron Moffatt I see what you mean. All the state's of Australia were separate with their own governments even earlier. If not for federation they may well have stayed separate and become countries in their own right. New Zealand simply held the same status. New Zealand was governed as part of New South Wales for quite a long time too. I think people tend to forget how shared our history really is. A great portion of white Kiwis are descendants of people who were in Australia first then went to New Zealand. I'm one of those people.
and nz done nothing in all that time before aus "offically" became a country while aus powered ahead with infrastructure and people actually wanting to come and live here..nz 4.5 mil people in 170 yrs..pathetic
New Zealands is Aussies little brother that always beats him.
Ahhh, a CGPGrey fan, I think?
"The answer, as always, starts with: Empire".
Absolutely, a very deliberate reference, but I think you're the first to comment on it ;) - there is also a mention of Hello Internet in the idioms video.
+Soliloquy Haha yes, I noticed that later, I've now watched all your videos :P (This was the first one I watched... I think.)
Well thank you for watching, it's viewers that watch that make it worth while making the videos.
+Soliloquy Haha yeah, digital love is love too :3
And digital hate should be largely ignored.
The Oz constitution did not "claim" NZ, it just left it open for NZ to be included.
+Dannys99887 this guy speaking is probably a kiwi or an educated Aussie.
kiwis,Aussies and pomes can understand each other perfectly because we all speak Queen's English.
we can even understand American English as its very close,as long as you don't use that trash street talk that so many of your non white members tend to use
"your non white members" I was with you up to that point.. American Ebonics is a very cool, very modern evolution of the English language. No point in trying to fight it, homes.
who are these "non-white-members" you speak of?
@@AholeAtheistdont be trying to act like that homes
jadekayak01 No, the only reason we are so used to American English is because they are literally all over our TVs and social media
No such thing as American English . They use the majority of the same words , but some descriptive words differ such as Faucet (tap ) . Should we start referring to Australian English ( esky ) or New Zealand English ( chilly bin ) ? ; same thing , different name .
Why didn't they name it New Zeeland after the Dutch Province of Zeeland ? Is the national character one of newly found ZEAL, vim, and vigour ?
Asking this question is almost is silly as asking why Bosnia isn't part of Serbia. We prefer to be separate, special snowflakes. Some parts of the world would happy if every house was its own nation.
...and?
I miss pre 90s Yugoslavia.
+Uthren Llaram Just how different is different enough tho? What about Kosovo? What about Bulgaria and Macedonia? Yugoslavia made no sense and all Slavs becoming one (=becoming Russians) doesn't make sense either. But we can't also let every house be a different nation just because -of propaganda- they want to. People on the Balkan don't get that it's not their neighbour that's the hostile force.
Bundy Trollbeart we will claim you as our west island
English is my 3rd language and I pride myself for knowing it. BUT I had a very hard time understanding the narration, lol.
We'd have the perfect country if instead of Aussies living in Aus it were Kiwis. Because as a Maori whos visited Australia I have to say NZ Europeans are far more chilled and accepting than Australian Europeans. And the Maori culture is cooler than Aboriginal culture.
""""And the Maori culture is cooler than Aboriginal culture.""" ha ha ha Racist. :)
That isn't racist at all lol what
Of course it is racist.. He is claiming cultural superiority of the maori people over the aboriginal people.. You cannot more racist then that..Super Fiery Mega Rainbow Unicorn of Fantastic Awesomeness
He said he prefers one culture over another. He didnt say they were genetically superior.
You dont know what racism is. Racism has to do with RACE not culture.
And culture is completely subjective.
I'm English. I have read about this and it matches what your comment says.
What is that dragon creature thing in New Zealand called a smawk or something ?
Smaug, from Lord of the Rings
Me: looking through the comments to find my fellow kiwis
Also me : Kaore e taea e au te kimi i nga kaitaetanga hou (it’s in Maori)
Then also a confused me who hasn't done Te Reo in months: he aha koe e kore ai e kitea?
be honest, that's not Maori, you just fell on your keyboard.
@@racketman2u I can’t tell if your memeing around or if your trying to say something else
What does the narrator say at ua-cam.com/video/BIwzCbyP2Q0/v-deo.html ? It sounds like he says "...one thoroughly decimated smalk." I can't find such a word anywhere. Perhaps his accent is misleading to me. Clues?
Yes Smaug is a dragon , but the dragon appears in The Hobbit which was also filmed in NZ.
it would suck if nz was part of auzz
+Crow22Darkness Cow shit? Seriously? India doesn't sell cow shit moron.
+Crow22Darkness Untreated sewage? Have you ever been to India come on! Don't put India into this.
During the so called "Maori Wars" 2600 Australian Colonial Soldiers under Kawana Karei fought against the Hauhau forces. They received medals in that campaign as they refer to it which included atrocities such as the massacre at Rangiriri Pa. So don't ever think that, that stand alone incident in CHCH was the first and only time when the convict invaded and 'shot us in the back'. This instance was much worse because the Crown awarded their so called acts of bravery with valour medals. Came across that juicy bit of information in a museum in Sydney.
I laughed so hard when he said Australia's flag looks completely different. 0:35 New Zealanders never stop making me laugh with their little bro vs big bro routine, literally no one in Australia cares what new Zealanders say or think.
sarcasm
That's really good! I love these historical backgrounds. Where's "Australier", though?
More like why Australia is not part of nz
Excellent video! As an Aussie, I love my NZ cousins across the ditch. I love that we are so different yet so similar, ANZACs forever.
Hear hear, back at you.
Never knew that. Now I kind of see New Zealand as what Canada is to the US. Thanks for making this video
You're welcome.
Canada is a lot different from US
Yea you're all not that different. Keep telling yourselves that, though. ;)
Australia never tried to invade New Zealand :) Like the US invaded Canada..
All hail New Zanada!
Can you at least provide subtitles since your accent is hard to understand when spoken fast
Australia and New Zealand are similar, we originate from the same mother country and have fought together in nearly every conflict we enter. However Australia is considerably larger with over 23 million people, the largest military in the region, international influence, the 12th largest economy in the world and is considered a continent as well as a country. New Zealand however has a population of over 4 million, a very small military (depends on Australia and America), next to no international influence, a small economy and a small land area. You can debate all you want but Australia is clearly several levels above New Zealand.
Assuming you measure a nation's worth by its power then sure you're right, Australia is clearly several levels above New Zealand.
Andrew Economous So does Australia, we just have both quantity and quality if it comes to a fight with New Zealand. A good economy, but small when compared to Australia and other world powers. You are well liked but you have little influence.
Andrew Economous A lot through friendship and not Xenophobia? WTF are you trying to say?
The Australian army is one of the most advanced and highly trained in the world.
Whaaaat? well good I won't ever have to talk to you again because our desert is pretty much remaining the same. I think you have Australia and Sub-Saharan Africa mixed up there....Oh and Australian education is better, we learn geography.
+Andrew Economous Curious to know why you think that the Aussie army is incompetent?
+Andrew Economous Dude the Australian army is the best trained military in the world, and NZ gets similar military training to us here in Australia because our countries fight together in wars and due to the ANZAC treaty
Why the hell would we want to be part of Australia?
We went to NZ one month ago. In Auckland, everyone we saw was either Asian or Indian. travelling around, all small business was owned by Indians or Chinese. The Auckland harbour front was a disgrace. Petrol on the South Island was $2.40 almost double Australian prices. Australia deported 2800 Kiwis in the past two years and soon both countries may decide against open entry, and visas will be required, this will be due to refugees using NZ as a back door to OZ.
No problem Don't come to NZ Just go to Australia
ahh i cant understand this guy at all.. sorry i'm going give you a thumbs down
fair enough
i was kidding. i'll give you a thumbs up . just because your such a good sport :).
Same, your accent is hard for me to understand. Sorry.
what's a marrie?
+son of dad hey bro he said it wrong it's not merry it's Maori there a race of ppl
As a Maori of New Zealand. The Colonial Nz government knew nothing of Native Affairs except colonisation. Otherwise brilliant 😊
Much, much too fast...
He talking slow for a new zealander
You should make more videos, this was excellent. Looking forward to new ones.
+David Rodriguez Thanks, I make as many as I have time to do.
I'm still stuck at GrenWitch. 😳😳😳
And there's me thinking it was called Gren-itch. Er, hang on, it is, isn't it?
Typical idiot
Grenich is the 0 longitude Mark it’s in enlgand
Yeah that was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
This channel deserves 10x more subscribers...
Thanks for the complement. Maybe it will get there someday :)
I wish the world with Aboriginal issues (roughy The Americas, Pasific (+ Australia), and North Africa) would look to NZ as an example as Maori have self government ish AND seats in parliment (not quite up to population but better to have some than nothing, and its no different than Scotland in UK as the parliment isn't quite by population).
Maori seats are an archaic and entirely irrelevant hangover; the sooner they are abolished the better. Besides, who qualifies to vote for these seats? 1/8th blood? 1/32 blood? 1/64? It's so arbitrary.
Then whats the point of calling it a Maori seat? Why not just merge it with the general electorate?
You sir are my 1,000th subscription. Keep up the good work
I'm honoured
Did you ACtually say "GREN WITCH"?! Bloody colonials, learn to speak English! :p
+psammiad yea, stupid mistake, knew better too, but can't change it now.
+psammiad Honestly, I had to pause the video at that exact moment just to see if someone else had spotted it. And with that, I shall continue my viewing.
PS: Happy to see a nice reply there from Soliloquy :)
+Marc Telfer I'm happy my response was adequate; although sometimes it would be nice if UA-cam allowed us to actually swap out the video for a corrected one (but totally get why they don't)
+Soliloquy Yeah, it would be nice, but I think in this instance you've been quite fortunate in still getting a positive reply to the mistake. The rest of the video is so interesting that it was just a chuckle-causing sidenote :)
Which would you say is the right pronunciation? I'm not used to hearing it, but I never heard anyone pronouncing greenwich like the color, but yes gren, I actually heard it from a brit today saying that way. I just checked what google translator suggests and it said the same way, like "gren'itch"
I don't think that NZ would want to join Australia today. Interesting what could have been, there have been many reasons why NZ didn't join. Very good historical curiosity of what could have been, what about Fiji joining Australia. If NZ were to join Australia today, how seats would it have in the House, and would it have 12 seats in Australia's Senate. It is best for Australia and NZ to be separate countries and continue to work together on common interests and issues.
wrong we have 24 million
He said in it's largest city
when he compares the distance between cities, he compares Amsterdam with other city.. What city is that? I don't fully get the name of this city
The other city is Istanbul
+Billy From Happy Wheels you weren't paying close enough attention, he said 4.7 million in our largest city, not the whole country.
+Dannys99887 the guy was not speaking fast.let's not forget that americans don't have thier own language(USA),they speak ENGLISH.
Britain has many regional dialects and some are hard to understand for others and Scots don't speak English,they speak English tainted by Scottish and they make things hard to understand.
I can't help it if you are a little slow and are hampered by being an american
Well, when we defeated the British Empire in 1776, the USA became the final arbiter of all things "English," even though we decided to leave the King on the British throne and not make Britain the 14th state. Americans do tend to speak somewhat slowly, and in some areas of the deep South (da land of cotton), it takes about 5 seconds per syllable. But surely even in New Zealand, they don't pronounce "Greenwich" as Grin-Witch.
Spot on about the language .
Your pronunciation of Māori is awful. Please refine... I'm Pākehā and I can get it right.
he is talking with a Unique New Zealand Pakeha accent
every one in the comments can't understand your accent but i'm following it completely fine
