We know there is a special comradere as well as the private rivalry dont we? Most of the world confuse New Zealand for Tasmania anyway - I was constantly being 'recognised' as having an Aussie accent when I travelled abroad (never been to Oz!) :lol: I've been to NZ twice but I've never been to Tasmania! :lol: I think the Aussie vs Kiwi battle royale is all in jest, and mainly reserved to the sporting arena anyway (and I just can't get into sport!) As for accents, you and I can definately tell the difference between a Kiwi and an Aussie, but it doesn't seem many other people around the world can. Even the Brits can't! And they're our "mother country"! This fella is awesome! I love the eyes! Vive le difference!
