Waipu is a place. Whakapapa isn't a swear word.


I'm not sure I understand now either. :(

In my best parliament tone: I refer to Section 6 of the Preamble to The Constitution of Australia

The Commonwealth” shall mean the Commonwealth of Australia as established under this Act.
“The States” shall mean such of the colonies of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia, including the northern territory of South Australia, as for the time being are parts of the Commonwealth, and such colonies or territories as may be admitted into or established by the Commonwealth as States; and each of such parts of the Commonwealth shall be called “a State”.


So under Australian law any invasion is legal, Even John Key in his adress to the Australian Parliament said that it was.

Don't take the above as my opinion, just a fact.

Im happy to stay the way we are.

Exactly look at all the Australian sports comps the Kiwis are in.

Eg. NRL=Warriors, A-League=Wellington Phoenix, ANZ Netball, Plus don't get me on all the NZ horses that come for the big horse races in Australia :p

i don't know if there was ever a trans-tasman express. but if i'm not mistaken, there were railways there for a time of some kind. trans anything makes me think of through trains that go all the way across it.
though from the almost nothing i know about it, my impression is that there isn't a lot of all the way to across.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"

Are you talking about Tasmania? Because the thread name references the Tasman Sea, the proverbial "Ditch" which divides mainland Australia, and it's vassal, New Zealand.
