| 1242613 | 2011-11-09 19:31:00 | There is a question on the NZ Departure card that asks if you are leaving permanently or away on holiday. I don't have a NZ Departure card in front of me to give you the exact question asked. Also, on the Australian Arrival's card is a similar question asking if you are entering permanently or just visiting. And there is a lot of information / data sharing between NZ and Australian Immigration and Customs so there would be a degree of stat collection from that. |

| 1242616 | 2011-11-10 00:32:00 | Wonder how long before the AU Gov requires visas to go to Ozz like they required passports in the 1980s. I remember my first time there in 1980 no passport required but the next time was 1988 and i did have to have one. Something to do with people from the Pacific Islands coming to NZ then jumping on the next plane to Ozz.. | paulw (1826) | ||

My kids are there along with the grandkids and none of them will be back . However, if you can’t take a bit of a ribbing and dish it out you’ll be cannon fodder . There are a few on this forum who wouldn’t last 10 minutes . ;) But the best I’ve heard the situation summed up was by and old Digger I was having a beer with in the Beerwah RSL when he said, “Well Mate, if I was in the sh . t and couldn’t have an Aussie on my shoulder I’d want a Kiwi” . I told him for most of us the feeling was mutual, so he handed me his schooner and advised it was my shout . Aussies are like that . :D Also some of their words of approval and endearment take some getting used of too . ;) |
