@@mfitz1991 That’s just because Australia’s a bigger economy. This mismatch is the same with Canadians living in the USA, Uruguayans living in Argentina or Brazil, or Austrians living In Germany. Even if (hypothetically) the Australian economy collapsed and the NZ economy took off and overtook it; that would still be the case.

As a Kiwi I think the helping the neighbors thing comes from our isolation and smallish population. Not just as Nation but for many New Zealanders for a long time, especially in rural areas if there was an emergency or problem, the only people you could rely on for help was your neighbor. It's probably like that in many isolated communities all over the world aswell.

[@Battleneter]

Australia is just as isolated you could well argue more so than NZ depending where you live in Australia. Both countries you need to take a plane to visit another country, the US is shorter for NZ where Europe is shorter for Australia.

[@Richo732]

1:00 Australia has been much, much more influenced by "expressive" cultures. In the very early days it was primarily the Irish, and later Italian, Greek, Maltese, and Eastern Europeans. So while Kiwis often view Aussies as brash or overconfident, Aussies can find Kiwis a little too reserved, and wonder if they'll ever let loose, and project some personality.

Less things to do in nz, crime going up, same as aussie but they’re way of punishing the criminals is more to my liking.

I love my culture and the people but something in this country has shifted in the way we socialise and live now.

Aussies are much easier to make friends with than Kiwi's but the one thing i've noticed above everything else in NZ is that they just don't share our humour, they are on a different wavelength which has contributed to my feelings of alienation here, In Australia I fitted right in, they just "Get It" and I made lots of friends in no time whatsoever. Of course that's just my experience, everyone is different.

Aussies are more brusque and outwardly less helpful ( although that is in the cities where most live) Aussies don't really care so much what anyone thinks about them and can laugh off criticism more than kiwis, but kiwis are extremely helpful and good people . The wash up is that Aussies and Kiwis are extremely similar and we probably magnify the slight differences.

NZ does not have the same racial tensions between its Indigenous communties as Australia in fact Maori are respected by Pakeha and Pakeha are respected by Maori - although certainly not a perfect relationship but definitely light years ahead of Australia.

Racism in Australia appears to be more prevalent when you examine its history in comparison to New Zealand from its "Keep Australia white" policies to its infamous Cronulla Riots of summer 2005. I can guarantee you that if someone of colour were to go to country area's in many parts of Australia they would not be as welcome as in rural parts of New Zealand. I've worked with reguee and new immigrant communities as well as Indigenous communities in Australia mainly in country NSW and Country VIC and I was severely shocked to my core at the level of racism in many area's I had to go to - the feedback I received from many of these communities anhyone would of thought it was Mississippi pre-civil rights movement.

I lived in NZ for 10 years and Aus for 11 years and to be honest I found NZ better coz their pies are better and the schools are nice coz when I first came everyone seemed to automatically come to me and hug me, which was nice, so on my 1st day I was very confident in the school and most amazingly there were no bullies at all. So if I had to rate Auz would be 6/10 and NZ would be 9.5/10🤗💝😏😏😏😏

[@biggiedii4889]

That's nice for you. Unfortunately NZ has some of the highest bullying rates in developed countries along with high drug abuse and domestic violence.

[@rebeloftheeast]

LOL you're so funny!

[@Adelaide2286]

Tiresome , your behaviour is uncontrolled emotion, similar to a grumpy old whinging man. So what if you have adversity, it happens to everyone alive.

[@bluemoon5662]

You didn't mention the Australian poisonous creatures which can kill you, as compared to zero poisonous creatures which can kill you in New Zealand. So I'm going to give New Zealand the extra point for that important fact alone. 😂

[@biggiedii4889]

The poisonous creatures are pretty much only in rural areas out in the outback. Most city Aussies barely even think about them lol.

@@biggiedii4889 Spiders; Sydney Funnel Web, Redback. Deadliest snakes that live on the east coast; Eastern Brown, Mainland Tiger, Coastal Taipan, King Brown, Eastern Small Eyed snake, Common Death Adder, Red-bellied black snake. Then there is Rock Fish, box jelly fish, blue bottles. You could also add mosquitoes that carry Ross River fever, Murray Valley Encephalitis, Dengue. Then there's sharks. Sydney harbour has the highest incidence of shark attacks in Oz last time I looked.

[@biggiedii4889]

@@nzer57 Do you have any sources for that statement? There have been less than 50 Shark attacks in Sydney in 200 years. Only 2 deaths have been recorded in the last 50 years. I don't think I'd feel safe in NZ where there's a high risk of an earthquake which can kill thousands or a volcanic eruption which can also kill thousands.

[@mahenonz]

Everything in Australia wants to kill you, versus NZ - no snakes, no dangerous reptiles or mammals of any kind, apparently we have one poisonous spider but I don’t know anyone who’s even seen it.

@@biggiedii4889 b.s last year my brother's in-laws found a king brown in their Sydney suburban backyard also red backs can get into your shoes if you leave them outside in ordinary Sydney suburbs. The purple ringed octopus in summer is everywhere in the southern beaches as well as box jelly fish, we've seen great whites from off the rocks again in Sydney suburban beachs - your head is in the sand.

this is way too melbourne centric.

I would argue for Australia's food culture, if it was theirs. 😏

Curls loved it. Being in a trappers Hutt a zillion miles from anywhere worries about boots drying that fire? And listening to the rain hitting the tin roof ....... Perfect. Must check the personal indicator bekon first thing ............

[@rholandtubban3413]

By far its Australia!

[@carlgoldsmith5444]

Wouldn't know. Never lived anywhere else except from the bottom of the South to the top of the south and in between. As well as Auckland - Kaiwaka - and Hicks Bay/ Te Araroa. Now back in Chch.

You lost me at climate change.. there was more fires in the 1970s when i was a kid... Way more...

[@jader6423]

what cop out lol

[@wouldlovemyownname]

NZ unique in terms of flora and fauna?. The only fauna they have has been introduced by Australia. Australian animals can be found nowhere else whereas the only mammals NZ have are introduced. No comparison.!

[@darrellm9915]

Most of New Zealand's flore and fauna is native to the country, so wtf are you talking about?

[@dabotboi1160]

lesh go-

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

New Zealnd until 120 million years ago was under water when it broke off Aus-Antartica. Thats why there is very little wildlife. Australia is the oldest continet with lanscapes up to 4.5 billion years old. Is Australia's not unique, it has landscapes, flora and fauna mostly found nowhere else on earth. What continent is covered by a huge varity if Eucalyptus trees. New Zealand looks just looks like countless other countries with mounaitns, volcanoes and glaciers. There is little to no wildlife, 85% of their fauna is invasive and you can't compete for diversity of wildlife or landscapes comparing a small country to an entitre continent running through several climatic zones. Australia is one of the most important coutries for biodiversity, thats why scientist flock there to research the place.
