Eastern Australia

New Zealand's high taxes are supposedly causing an exodus to Oz. And then there's this interesting fact:

Australia's founding constitution, dating from 1901, gave New Zealand the right to become a part of its larger neighbour if it chose to do so. The clause has never been revoked.

Go on, New Zealand. You know you want to. By the sounds of it half of you already live here anyway.

AN AUSTRALIAN joker has
listed a piece of prime Pacific real estate - otherwise known as New Zealand - for sale on eBay.
Twenty-two bids were received,
with a top price of $3000, before
eBay realised the listing was a
hoax and withdrew the item.
A spokesman said “Clearly New
Zealand is not for sale.”

The best part is where the QLDer advertised NZ as having the "dodgiest America's Cup win ever ... and very ordinary weather".

"New Zealand has a long history of supplying Australia with population. In contrast, the trickle of Australians to New Zealand is almost negligible."

Well, personally, i'd go there for a look, except i heard its full of new zealanders....

Haha, yeah, same problem with Ireland. It's full of Irish that is. Oh wait, it has ordinary weather too. And it's expensive. And nothing works.
