Well, not really. I’m going there for a ten day snowboarding jaunt in a few weeks but not actually moving there. But listening to NZ PM Helen Clark on the 7.30 Report last night I’m thinking about it.
Seriously, don’t you wish our prime minister cut the bullshit, sanitised diplomatic language and spoke like this?
That’s what leads us to the conclusion that this is simply taking a flick at New Zealand.
Frankly, the Fiji interim government didn’t appear to give a toss about that…
Can you ever see John Howard or Kevin Rudd using that sort of language when discussing Australia’s foreign relations?

She certainly has bigger balls than Howard or Rudd combined.

taking a flick sounds fully awesome in a kiwi accent. Like ‘fiddling with the switch’

The first time I went to New Zealand I turned on the television and the first words I heard (in a heavily accented NZ accent) were:
Sixty seconds of circumcision.
I shit you not. Try to say those in yer best Kiwi whine.
