Travel Info I've heared that Kiwis love to hate Aussies,Why is that? Travel Tips What is all this "hate" business? Most people I know have no need for hate at all. New Zealand and Australia have a long standing rivalry in just about every sport. We are easily recognised in each other's countries by our accents and there are plenty of New Zealanders in Australia and vice versa. While the rivalry exists between the countries, away from home New Zealanders and Australians behave like close cousins and look after each other. Things between them would be even better if New Zealanders would give up their sexual interest in sheep... Others Because OZZIES suck. You're all criminals! Apparently the New Zealanders dont like their rudeness so i have heard, but it could just be petty rivalry. I didn't know they dislike each other. Why is Russel Crowe named Crow when New Zealand is the only place in the world where there aren't any Crows? No, no. We don't HATE aussies. They are our big brothers from across the way. We have an intense rivalry with them that is all. When it comes down to it, we fought alongside eachother in the war and have a strong respect for each other. Apart from the Aussie's dingo shagging:-) Its "big brother" syndrome.....you always want to beat the "big brother". Despite this I found I had more in common with auzzies when I went to the UK...(I was shocked and horified at first, since I have been brought up to "hate" them....ok love to beat them at Rugby, cricket, netball or league...in fact any sport). We love to hate their accents...although kiwis are more tolerant of the oz accent than the other way (we hear it more on TV and accept it more), but we love to say that aussies say SEX for six (and they say we say SUX...true to a point). I personally find the auzzie accent more harsh. Another thing a lot of kiwis say about too are australians are quite arrogant...This is seen as a fault in New Zealand (tall poppy syndrome...anyone who says they are fantastic will be cut down by media and public harshly! especially when any sign of weakness is shown). When we beat the auzzies there is nothing better..... |
