ALL FOR UNION WITH AUSSIE

We practice what we preach. We live with an aussie. At times a testy union but mutally beneficial as most good unions are.

We think it is both logical and inevitable that we end up joined up with our trans Tasman kissing cousins.

Economically it makes good sense and if we think that on the world stage we are big enough to be heard above the noise - we are dreaming. The rest of the world already thinks we are just a state of Aussie .

So we are happy for the grand union - but they can keep their ants and snakes.

BEHAVE JOHN!

Lordy, the Aussie Rock, BB's bloke, is always dismayed about the never ending rivalry New Zealand has with Australia and now John Key has gone and made it worse. He has made the equivalent of a Trans Tasman Treaty claim for the rights of such strategic indigenous assets as Pavlova and Phar Lap. We are still bickering with the Rock over who owns what. BB doubts if there will be a thaw in Trans Tasman relations tonight. Thanks John-Not.
