    Australia vs New Zealand... what are the biggest differences between these two countries? I hit the streets of Wellington New Zealand and Sydney Australia and ask the locals what they think the biggest differences between Aussies and Kiwis are... the results are hilarious!

    Great content👍. As a kiwi, I'm biased, but I will say younger Aussies are much nicer than the older generations. And when you go out into the world, if you run into an Aussie, it's like meeting up with a family member. We've got each other's backs, and together we stand united. 🤗🐨🥝

      I'm a 65 year old Aussie and I disagree with the generation comparisons. I have lived and worked with Kiwis my entire life (even slept with a couple in my teens). Attitudes and social mores have not really deviated at all.
      This is how I see it... Kiwis and Aussies are like siblings, we will fight like cats and dogs, snarl and bite each other but if any other nationality tries to join in then it's "fuck you mate, this is our blue so piss off". In true ANZAC spirit we will fight to the death for our brothers and sisters and nobody else is welcome.

    The real difference between Aussies and Kiwis: If you call an Aussie a Kiwi they laugh and say "nah mate, I'm Aussie". If you call a Kiwi an Aussie, they get all snarky and spend 1 hour telling your about the all blacks, pavlova, and how much nicer NZers are than Aussies. It's a fail safe test, I promise.

Looks like the Aussies are pretty kind, chilled and not so arrogant after all. 😂 I do love the fun banter between our countries. Its a big sign of endearment in our countries.

    I'm an Aussie. Apart from the differences in Aussie and Kiwi accents, I think Kiwis are quieter and more socially progressive. We tend to be louder, blunt and less socially progressive (though that depends a lot on our age and where we live).

    • @lindascott6902
      @lindascott6902 Před 11 měsíci

      wholeheartedly agree. As part of that more progressive stance, NZ is also more racially integrated and developing a culture that is a blend of Polynesian (mainly Maori) and European. Sadly that’s not true in Australia, where the Aboriginal culture and peoples are largely absent from the overall society. I hope that changes!

    Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘. Australia has a lot more aggression such as a lot more nature destroyed by humans. Massive open-cut mines, Snowy Mountains Scheme (where a whole ecosystem of water is artificially diverted over a mountain range), desalination plants, deserts turned into farmland via irrigation schemes. Also a lot of other aggressive things like industrial scale farming (vineyards, olive groves and almond orchards the sizes of small countries), live animal export, barramundi farms so isolated they require fly-in fly-out workers. Australia is more aggressive than New Zealand in many aspects 😊.

      The PURE NZ campaign is PURE BS!

    Interesting just to see the difference in appearances of the average demographic you chose. I think the biggest difference is the culture. NZ has a dominant Maori cultural influence but is also a melting pot of multiple cultures and seems more culturally inclusive. Australia is basically a place Kiwis come to for work and lifestyle so that says a lot about both countries I think. I'm a Kiwi living in Australia. And yes, the Kiwis invented the pav.

    1. Treaty - we have a treaty with our tangata whenua / indigenous people and in general i believe we respect and treat them much better
    2. Attitude - we tend to be more reserved, chill but also have a "tall poppy syndome" where we get told not to show off. Aussies can be more bold and upfront.

    As an Aussie I always notice how many things that are common place in Australia are rare or totally absent in New Zealand. It’s just a reflection of the different ethnic mix of the populations, not just the first nations people, but from the early days of European/Asian settlement to the current day. The historical Irish influence is everywhere in Australia, similarly the impact of immigration from countries like Germany, eastern Europe, and of the course the Mediterranean. The middle eastern influence is also pretty noticeable in a lot of Australian cities. And of course, there are China Towns that go back to the mid 1800s.
    In comparison New Zealand has been shaped by much narrower cultural influences.
    I’m not from Sydney, but I haven’t found people there to be “rude” or “aggressive.” Busy, in a hurry, or time poor, typically yes, but that’s not “rude,” or “aggressive.” In relaxed settings, they are as friendly and open as people from anywhere else, including New Zealand.

    Anna Pavlova (the famous Russian Ballet dancer) visited Australia before visiting New Zealand. And when you consider that just about every country she had visited so far, had also named a cake, or some food related item before she ever got to either Australia or New Zealand. Its already a moot point.
    And then there is the fact that the recipes are slightly different too, and finally the fact that communication between countries was difficult. No one would waste money on a overseas telegram, just to discuss cake recipes, as other news was far more appropriate and important.
    So we probably both decided to jump in on the cake renaming bandwagon, that was already well established well before she got here anyway.
    And then there is the fact that we bothdo share some similarities too, so we both probably thought of the same sort of cake recipe (which apparently wasn't new in the first place anyway) in which to name in her honour.
    So since she visited Australia first, we came up with it first. The Kiwis would have had no idea, and so did the same thing, the fact that the recipes are similar is very likely merely consistence.
    It doesn't change the fact that we named that particular type of desert in honour after Anna Pavlova's visit before the Kiwis. That's a fact.
    But as I said, she already had numerous things (such as cakes etc) named after her by this point, its not exactly a new thing, nor was the original recipes either.
    The cake got its name from a famous person, that's why its famous, and she visited us Aussies first. So you have your answer.
    P.S. Do Aussies claim other people and things (from New Zealand) as being from Australia. Absolutely. Buts that's only because we like them so much. They are ore family after all.

      Lamington is 1000% an Aussie invention. It was named after Qld's eighth governor, Lord Lamington, who served from 1896 - 1901. Recipes were published in Qld Country Life newspaper as early as the late 1800's.

    One factor that may influence people's responses is that Kiwi's have a slightly higher level of insecurity about their country compared to Australians and do need that (re)validation, even though many aspects of New Zealand are in fact great. The general confidence levels are broadly higher in Australia, but not to the extent of the Americans. However, in the sample of Australian interviewees, it was interesting to see many Australian concede certain claims to New Zealand, yet no Kiwis conceded anything to Australia (other than cost of living, wages). That speaks to the confidence aspect. Be more confident in yourselves Kiwis!!!

      I think point 1 is more about how the different indigenous cultures view and nurture their own culture. To Aboriginal Australians, their culture is something precious to be shared in a very measured and thought-out way and only with people who have demonstrated their respect and affinity with the culture and people. In New Zealand there seems (to Aussies) to be wide spread appropriation of Maori culture often for commercial gain particularly in the tourism industry.

      I think the racist Australian policy visa changes of the mid 1990's designed to block Islanders using NZ as a back door into Australia lead to a lot of unnecessary issues for Kiwis in Australia regardless of ethnicity, and it never worked. Did you know if a ex NZ couple living in Australia for say 10+ years "permanently" on a so called "temporary" Special category visa 444 have a child , that child is not legally an Australian, freaken born in Australia!.
      Luckily the current Australian government has corrected most of the issues in the last few months so complaining will end. Basically if Kiwis have lived in Australia for 5+ years they can now apply for citizenship the same as Aussies in NZ. Australia has only had a small net gain form NZ over the last decade , a large drop from prior decades, a combination of Australia being a little less attractive and NZ picking up.

    Google is Saying the flat white was invented in 1985 in in Moors expresso bar in sydney by Alan Preston. Another Google page is saying it was invented in 1989 in a Wellington NZ by Fraser Mcinnes. Another post Google post said Derek Townsend, founder of Karajoz Coffee company in NZ invented it. Will we ever know who really invented it.

      In reality it was probably first "invented" some time between or a little after the late 1920s (first expresso machine in the country) to late 1940s (when espresso started to become a "big thing" in Australian culture) when a customer asked their barista for a cappuccino with less froth...
      Just like the Kiwi and Australian Pavlovas are two distinct (and different) recipes for a meringue, a type of dessert that had been around a long, long time before Kiwis started arguing with Aussies about who invented what...

    Aussies are the better drinkers. That's for sure. I live near Oktoberfest.
