7th generation Kiwi here that left in the 90's and jumped the ditch. Even back then it was fairly obvious I was never going to own a home. Even with both of us working, we were treading water. Moved to Australia and purchased our own home 9 years later and have even managed to buy brand new cars (could never afford one in N.Z). Met a fellow Kiwi in Ballarat the other day who is part of the mass exodus of Kiwis leaving currently. She had been in Australia for three weeks, was glad about leaving and was very optimistic. I remember being told that Australia was the "lucky country", although I didn't think so at the time. I told her the exact same thing because I believe it is. My ancestor was an ex convict from Australia, so in a roundabout way...I went back home.

wat an absolute joy to see Miriam and her enigmatic charm interact with maori and kiwis alike, so pleased she is getting a real up close and personal perspective on life in Aotearoa/NZ, she is one of my favourite people and being a little older than my mum, i am in awe of her physical and mental abilities...tena koe Whaea Miriama, haere tonu koe ki to mahi pai rawa atu, arohanui xo

I was on the North Island in 2014. I visited Hobbiton with my fiancé. That was the only green spot. There was a drought back then but obviously they watered Hobbiton for the tourists. It was lovely there. I don’t recall any of the houses being finished on the inside. There was a large “pub” for us to go in that was built to regular human-sized dimension. You can see that on this video. I loved Auckland, where I was married. We stayed at The Shakespeare Hotel, a cozy place close to the harbour. If I could I would live in Auckland. It was lovely weather in February!!!

The trouble with the treaty is Maori don't see land ownership the way Pakeha do. To Maori they belong TO the land, the guardians, not the owners. They agreed to extend that covenant with the earth to the new settlers. Unfortunately, that feeling of belonging TO the land wasn't understood by Pakeha.

I saw Miriam in 'Dickens Women', a one woman show in Hamilton, NZ years ago. Has she forgotten? She was incredible! Switched between characters and accents like lightning. Utterly captivating brilliance, causing you to drop into sympathy with each character as well. I had never seem live acting like it!

Her and Barry Humfrey very similar in style , skill and artistic ability . (That was before he took on the dame Edna persona road ) . Watched him for 3 hours in Melbourne switch from one subject or character to the next , had us totally captivated just like Miriam who can hypnotise an audience with her brilliance . Barry is now gone (but never forgotten ) , may we treasure her while she is still with us. I’m 80 so no disrespect meant re your age Miriam .

I live here in Auckland now but used to work at a sound studio in London called Magmasters, Miriam used to come in to do awesome voiceovers for films and commercials. Everyone loved her and looked forward to her grand entrance. She's awesome! She had the best potty mouth, which gave us immense joy and laughter. She's an amazing, talented actress with a great sense of humor. It's been really lovely to see her do so well and be so loved around the world. She's brilliant 😁

The Rangatira (Chiefs) only agreed for the colonisers to govern their own unruly visitors who were breaching and transgressing all manner of Māori lore (laws). They had become a major problem, but the Chiefs NEVER CEDED THEIR SOVEREIGNTY OVER AOTEROA NZ LANDS. Bearing in mind at that time, for every Pākehā settler there were 10,000 Māori and so it is highly improbable that Māori would GIVE OVER ALL GOVERNORSHIP to people they outnumbered by so many. It's illogical, but that is typical of coloniser history.

Never start a program like this in a different country like this program. You are not in the middle east, Russia, China, North Korea. This australia and NZ. You are not going to be slaughtered by starting your program in the country you are visiting. However you are disrespecting that country by engaging another country first. Appalling! Someone like you, editors and producers should know this and all of you come off inconsiderate and have poor judgement. Do your homework better in future.
