Isn't it true that NZ has the option of joining Australia as an Australian State?

I have vague memories of reading this somewhere.

Just a reality check. Why in the world would Australia join NZ under such terms as these troubled Australians are suggesting? New Zealand is the last place you'd look for an economic alliance, joint security, or any other contribution. Today, as John Hill demonstrates, New Zealand is too smug, self-assured, and maybe even arrogant to even carry on a discussion.

The sad part is that John Hill's viewpoint probably represents the majority of Kiwis.

But New Zealand citizens aren't eligible for these payouts, even if they've been in Australia for years.
Are now, Aus. changed it's mind today.

I hope you will "civilly express your take on issues" without generalisations in future.

I don't like it when my countrymen are disparaged in a generalisation.

I have had to tell you this before:

"Due to appalling lack of leadership here, and superb leadership over there, let's surrender Australia to New Zealand immediately," Scott Battersby, from Australia, posted on Facebook"

Who the hell is Scott Battersby, and what authority has any thing posted on farce book got

The newspapers really are having hard times when their articles come from farce book

At least Tweeters and Bookers can be identified and fact checked,as they always do with who I suspect you are referring to, regarding Twitter.

At Ops-Normal for instance , our real identities are unknown (mostly) so posters can easily pretend to be who they are not .There is almost no way to be sure people are not lying about themselves or exaggerating experiences or if they are creating personas of people who they would have like to have been.

Just a thought.

Indeed, Seen - you are correct - and we know NOTHING about you, we only see what you are 'pretending' to be.

PS I don't think a 'fact check' with the twats of 'who I suspect you are referring to, regarding Twitter.' would stand daylight.

Dr Bo-your maths on the Covid thread really does show the Lightning Pilots can and do make mistakes either by not reading the statement or comprehending the sentence and then incorrectly summing the numbers that were stated.

Seen, you have not disclosed your impressive background, we only see what you are pretending to be. The last two lines were totally irrelevant to the topic and total deflection (while correct)! 10/10 for a failed attempt at thread irrelevance.

Come on - what are you? A school teacher, a lawyer, a Chump speech=writer; any aviation connection? (PS A QUESTION.)

A retired Pilot of South African origin now living in the USA,thankfully.

Edit-Sorry I forgot to add that I am living proof that most people can be taught to fly.

Edit2-even for a paltry living.

I also have managed to record a log of equal takeoff's and successful landings and unfortunately i have also known ,and will miss ,several pilots who will never make their final successful landing.
