I agree you can tell so much by being on the ground in the place of interest……thats way i could never buy sight unseen or over the net regardless of the 11 sec whatever.

LoL …..all these people nicking my quote (cause its so hard to be original)
Any way back on to this serious topic about “Lemmings”……… Well I looove the ones with Jam and cream in the middle, and with extra cocconut on the outside

The rivalary between Aus/ NZ has nothing to do with an Australian percieved arrogance, and if you knew any Kiwis then you would know that!!
Did you read
Fluffy….lol…I have been called worse.
Do I know Kiwis? Err well let’s see. I invest my money over there. Go there on business trips. You work it out mate.

Sounds like you know all about NZ Tim and they way they think.

Ever wonder why the Kiwi’s love beating Australia so much in Rugby, Netball or whatever other sport it is? The reason is that there is a bit of that same arrogance in Aussies when looking at NZ.
Fluffy post master. The kiwis love beating Australia for the same reason we love beating larger countries like England etc.
Nothing to do with our arrogance. All to do with constanly being the underdog (in population size) and the size of the challendge to be met. NZ uses Australia as a yardstick period!!
Some deal when Tassie beats one of the mainland states at cricket/ etc.

Recognition is irrelevant to an investor except where it increases property values and/or rents. To even hint that the reason that the NZ property market has taken off is because of recognion from Hollywood movies is absurd.
A lot of “investors” make decisions based on emotion. It could be argued that growth of cities can be due to recognition comming from imternational events/ exposure like the olympic games/ americas cup re Sydney, BArcelona , Freemantle, Auckland….so why not due to one of the biggest blockbuster movies ever.
You keep trying to make LOTR/Hollywood Monopolies example which is very amusing!!

It always easier to philosophical, enviromentalistic blah blah blah once youve got the dollars in the bank.
Beyond that it is a struggle, till you get there..then you can be whatever you want because money and security gives you time to be whatever you want to be!!
So for me it is hyprocrytical for to get there at the end the person has become a way different person (public persona anyway) to the person they began the journey as…

LoL thats why its American and Iraqi forces battling the rebel insurgents. But if it was Iraqi forces battling rebel insurgents it wouldnt be news
but i see what you mean. Was similar a few yrs ago when california bush fires killed 10 or so americans and 2 million (ok im exagerating) indians got killed in a train derailement near Deli….you already know what made the news for the next week after and what gets 5 minutes airtime.

My posts arent attempting to be a personal attack. They are for you to back up your fluffy broad statements, which i feel denegrate Australia. And i have no problem if your views are different to mine, but id love to see examples to back up your broad statments.
If you dont see your statements without examples as trash talking Australia…..then we can agree to disagree on that
When you do actually find that country/s that are as multicultural and as tolerant as Australia (THAT IS MY POINT).
..Id love to go and see it
We dont have a differing opinion in the area that racism exists here (and it does everywhere) so there is no reason to “feel sad” that we dont agree on points.
WayneL youve missed the point. Racism articles in papers exist in many countries, thats not my point with agile. It is good that a country like ours can put these artilces in the paper so that racsim can be stamped out.

I am not well travelled but one comparable example (as Mini mentioned) could be NZ. I do not know for sure as I have only ever briefly visited this country.
LoL ……youre arguments are based around “could be”…”do not know for sure” that NZ (minis example, none the less)(and a large multicultural superpower to boot backs up your original quote of “On the other side of the coin there are most probably a lot of countries much more tolerant than Australia.
“.
On the surface it seems that the population in NZ is more integrated in Australia and that the country has gone ahead and dealt with land rights issues in a fair and mature way.
More power to them.
Regards,
Tim.
..Now we side track to landrights as an argument that Australia is less tolerant and more racist then then your example New Zealand, oops I meant Mini’s example. That is your point Tim, isnt it?
There isnt a country in the world as multicultural and diverse (NZ stats arent as mutlicultural as Australias) that is as tolerant and unracist as Australia.
‘would be”, “could be” sweeping statements definately dont cut it when you are trying to trash talk the best multicultural and most tolerant country in the world.
