And we even have traffic lights, color television, and flushing toilets (except for parts of Christchurch again...)<br />Interestingly, it seems much easier for disillusioned Aussies to move East than it is for us to migrate to the 'lucky country' and be treated as equals...

If only we could approach keeping up with the kiwis as a progressive nation in the same way as a sporting contest. If Australian politics takes yet another retrograde conservative step i might be filling in those emigration papers...

It's really easy to thread the needle, so long as the threads are trimmed to the same length and then give 'em a lick.
