What do Australians think of New Zealanders these days?

Personally I like New Zealanders....the ones that give you the bad names are those that have come here just to get on the dole as soon as they step foot in the country and then find employment with unscrupulous employers who pay cash in hand.

I know and have worked and played with many Kiwis and they are treated exactly the same as everyone else I know. Of course, when the two countries are playing cricket or rugby against one another, there is a certain amount of rubbishing, but it comes from both sides and isn't at all serious. Our employers are crying out for good workers in all sorts of jobs, so anyone who objects to a Kiwi (or anyone else for that matter) working here, is just looking for something to whinge about.
For goodness sake, if all the Kiwis went back to NZ our economy would probably fall apart!

We like New Zealander's so much we gave them Bondi. You have to know that as Australians if we know something annoys you we take great delight in making sure we continue to do it. :) P.S I have been to NZ many times and Milford Sounds is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Great I love Kiwis, most all of my tenants at the boarding house I manage and run here in Sydney are from New Zealand. I've seen more of New Zealand than most Kiwis have. I have a lot of friends and family over there. I always have a 'choice' time over there.

I don't think its something normal people worry about in the slightest, except when there is a trans-Tasman cricket or rugby game on.

Unfortunately too many people take delight in stirring up sh*t for the sake of it.

I don't mind them, the non-Maori New Zealanders seem pretty much the same as Australians, the Maori New Zealanders seem a bit culturally different but over all not too bad.

My 13 year old daughter thinks that nice looking rugby playing Maori boys are just the cat's pyjamas. Lol.

i think the issue is that so many of you move over here and whilst I don't take issue to it the Islanders in particular leave a lasting and very bad impression.
In Melbourne we don't see any difference between anyone generally and I personally don't know anyone who dislikes Kiwi's on a whole, just the bad ones they have come in contact with.
As for all you so called Aussies making rude comments and telling really stale jokes. The NZ in Anzac is New Zealand and they have always been by our side as we have them. Grow up, they are as close to family as we have and you are all embarasing to the history of our great country.
New Zealand is a gorgeous country and it's really time to stop the shitty jokes. They aren't funny.

New Zealnders think Australians haven't evolved far from the apes.

Why don't New Zealanders play hide and seek?

Because nobody wants to find them.

Choice, Eh Bro.

PS - If you want to keep supporting the All Blacks, then go back home.

Good for you Zebra. To quote an old song "Stay where you are New Zealand. Just stay where you are"

Well, I really like New Zealanders. Although I do enjoy poking fun with the odd sheep joke, it's all in good fun, and it's the Australian way to tell someone that you like them by poking fun at them. It shows that we respect you!

I feel like we have some sort of comeraderie with New Zealand, like we are separate countries but the same in some ways. It's nice! But then again, I'm not from Sydney or Melbourne, and don't always particularly agree with people from either of the cities.
