any mockeries or hating is all in a good manner, if i meet an aussie theres always friendly banter, its just the way shit is, we mock them and they mock us... but its like brotherly mocks, we dont like hate each other or nothing, we just prefer to mock them rather than love them..its all g
but aussies do sound like faggits

AU and NZ are like USA and CAN, because we are kind of similar we both enjoy shitting on each other for fun

haha im sure glad i don't have a aussie accent

but yeah, its just good natured taking the piss. australians like to think they're better than us and we like to prove them wrong. in all seriouseness though, I think that overall nz is a better developed country than aus. like go outside of the big cities in australia and they're like hick towns. sure one or two towns in nz are like that (gore comes to mind) but no as many. most of our small towns are nice.

aussie guys are probabbly in general hotter though lol

Haha It's mainly just playful.  Theirs rivalary because both countries are reasonably close and matched in sport.  For most of us it's nothing serious.  I have an Aussie accent but it's no where near a strong one, close to an english accent haha.

Haha. I like the epizode where Brett and Jermaine try and buy an apple from the fruit stand but they aren't allowed since the guy thinks they are from Austraillia. Thats probably my favorite one. :)
