Are you from NZ?
Good things come in small packages.
Born UK
lived until 13yo
to NZ
lived until 23yo
to OZ
lived until ???
My retirement portfolio means we might be better in NZ than in OZ. I get to pay tax in lots of 'sovereign nations" which means deductions in those too. Got a few sponsored charities too.
Elsewhere I argue leave taxpayers alone; they do their own thing but others say otherwise. IMO they got it wrong but that's only opinion.

You may be better off in NZ, but not nearly as much to see!

Interesting thought...perhaps there is as much to see in NZ, it's just all squashed into a smaller space, so the travel times are a bit easier. How many times would NZ fit into Aust?
By the way Wendy & Paul welcome to the phunny pharm.

I agree that NZ has as much to see, but using less fuel to do it. But if you like the open road Australia is the place to be.

[snip].
The lord of the rings was filmed there; every single varied climate/landscape. But travel times are much longer, roads skinnier, speed less etc. & with my father there (& timeshare too) we get to go at least once a year.
nz= 3.5% of oz (or 28&1/2 times)

If we sent all the kiwis home there would be nobody left to drive the trucks in Sydney.
