And only 20% of them have jobs in a nation with full employment.

I think you will find you are incorrect.

NZers are the highest earning ethnic group in Australia.

Most of Australias dairy industry is NZ owned, Fonterra.

Brands inc, Bonlac, Connoisseur, Mainland, Perfect Italiano, Western Star, Bega, Anlene™, and Brownes

As is a huge chunk of the brewing industry. Castlemain Perkins, Hahn Brewing, J. Boag & Son Pty Ltd, Malt Shovel Brewery, South Australian Brewing Company, Swan, Tooheys all, by Lion Nathan.

Goodman Fielder is a NZ company that crossed the ditch too, buying up OZ companies. Our brands include Meadow Lea, Praise, White Wings, Pampas, Mighty Soft, Helga's, Wonder White, Vogel's (under licence), Meadow Fresh, and Irvines.

It is the sixth-largest dairy company in the world,...

New Zealanders own a heck of a lot of Australia.

The main Banks in NZ are OZ owned, but are made be NZ companies, fees etc far lower than in OZ.

Woolworths admits to be dearer it marks up their prices more in OZ because of competition in NZ.

Not bad for a country of just 4 million people.

I lived in OZ 9 years, married a "Shiela" and returned to NZ. My wife happy too.

My throwaway line that only 20% of NZers work in Oz was so manifestly small I thought anyone would see it was a joke.

I'm at fault for not inserting a smilie in the post to indicate that, and I apologise to you Pete, if you became so incenced that you then spent much time on research to prove me wrong.

However, taking up the cudgels, I fail to see how listing NZ owed, or partly owned, companies in Australia proves an arguement that NZ unemployment in Australia is equal or worse than the average. I'm sure if I spent the time I could do a similar excerise in reverse.

"NZers are the highest earning ethnic group in Australia."

I would be interested to know where you found this statistic.

Etnic group? I think to everyone who isn't an Australian or a New Zealander, you're pretty much grouped together as a single people.

Never forgetting their ability to stand on their heads and the unnatural affection for sheep !!!

Thats your third sheep joke (?) on this thread Suiging. (+ one mollusc)

Are you Welsh?

Suiging, I know sheep are a bit scarce up HK way (and Pong I guess).

This might be just what you need....

Ewe guys !!

Main "FACT" is, Australians are not good "SPORTS", good at sport, yes.

2nd only to Americans as being BAD sports.

If Ockors cannot beat others, they change the rules.

AFL is first, No good at rugger, so made up Aussie Rules.

Most blatant thing was when they changed the rules at Bathurst, made it a Ford v Holden battle.

They could not handle "Godzillas"....... sheeeesh.

Australian motto.....

If we can't win change rules.

Well in OZ at least.

NOT GOOD SPORTS at all.

you forgot to mention the Trevor Chappell under-arm bowling incident. Surely the height of bad sportsmanship.

Most blatant thing was when they changed the rules at Bathurst, made it a Ford v Holden battle.

They could not handle "Godzillas"....... sheeeesh.

NOT GOOD SPORTS at all.

Bathurst started out as Holden vs Ford, but then the "Godzillas" and the likes entered the field.

We just changed the rules back to the good old days of V8 Supercars or Holden and Ford, even though previously they were not all V8 but none the less it is just more relevant to Australians than watching a turbo charged Nissan racing around the track.

Whether you drove a Ford (surfer dude) or a Holden (Bogan) said a lot about who you are...

I agree with you, but what I said still stands.

Change the rules to suit Australians.

NOT good sports if you cannot hack it with the rest of the world.

I drive a 1971 FORD Fairlane 500, OZ built, greatest car I have ever owned.. ....one owner too, well I inherited it from me dad......LOL

That is the ZD right?

ZD was my favourite model.

I drove a MkI GT Cortina for a while. Lotus engine, only it was a piece of crap I bought for $500, reverse didn't work and I had to wind the fan to get the fly wheel into a position so the starter motor would fire it up.

This mine, taken to NZ now.

People ask where I found it.

Once I had a MK 1 Cortina waggon, had V$ Capri motor, lil rocket.

Cost 250 bucks, had waggon diff, left traffic lites like a jet, top speed was crap.

Real fun whilst it lasted.

Don't you just love big vulgar cars?!? I do!

So does ESSO
