    Wow. Racial taunts on the Kiwi Thread of property investing. LOL. I don’t suppose you have the moral strength to talk the talk when you are talking to the majority of Bouncers in Australia?

    ha ha ha. I take it you are from Brisbane? I know for a fact that there are some Maori who are VERY keen to have a chat. The words that caught my interest were Respect, teach and a phrase about female parent and copulation. I think they were interested in you.

    They want me to convey a message “Te reo maori e mate, te tangata maori e tino kino”. How’s that for kiwi?

    Again I challange you to have the courage of your conviction. Or are you going to hide behind your avatar?

    Before you waste anyones time … I’m not the one making racist jokes.

    Hi Torachan,
    This was not intended as a racist slur. I am a New Zealander and I have heard all the jokes and dont take offence to the majority of them, I didnt believe this was inflammatory. I have also heard the jokes New Zealanders make about Aussies.Plenty of my friends are also Maori.So sorry you take everything so seriously.

    Hi Guys

    As the saying goes: the more New Zealanders who go and live in Australia raises the IQ of both countries.

    Hi Brisbane 04,

    I gotta laugh!!! Even though I have lived here twenty sucks years…..I haven”t lost the accent and get pulled up almost every day!!!
    We all know how many times we must relay our phone numbers to others so when I recently moved,
    I requested new home phone number and mobile number without a “sex” in it!! …has lessened the continuous flow of Kiwi jokes that I have heard a million times over!!

    HI Brisbane 04.
    Thanks for the light hearted look at the Kiwi accent!!! I actually find it really funny now when I go to NZ, because I am the one with the Aussie Accent that gets a caning for the way I sound!! – and a lot of my family are Kiwis as well! although I am Aussie through and through!!
    Cheers

    Hey Fullas,
    I have been in Oz for Sux years now and am proud to have Aussie Honki Fullas tease my accent!
    I have heard all the crap jokes and still crack up at some of the Aussies that think they are funny with the sheep shagging jokes. All I can say is “And you lot thought you were getting lamb? where do you think we export all our used sheep when the velcro gloves wear out? Heh Heh…..

    I had some fish and chups at a place in Taumaranui… forget the name. But I think it should have been called ‘oil and chips’ instead. The fish, or what there was of it, was probably 60% batter, 30% oil, 10% fish.

    Aussie fish and chips rules! :)

    I have to say that last time I was in NZ I was a little disappointed with some of the fish shops. Not as good as they used to be. However, I did manage to find some battered oysters – now there is a taste sensation!

    And the ice creams are as huge as ever!
