It's a beautiful country, and the people are lovely, but are there lots of resources there or something?

Queenstown is amazing for skiing.

Do we have any Kiwis here who know more about this story?

Is it worth it?

I can't see what Australia could gain from it to be honest.

the film industry, because of Weta and Peter Jackson is really taking off, plus it's a hot tourist destination.

NZ owns Antartica right? Antartica has vast oil and gas reserves. Makes sense now to me,

Does that mean if Australia buys NZ that we get Antarctica thrown in as well?

Why would Australia want to buy New Zealand for $50 billion? They had another major earthquake again yesterday. Two more major earthquakes and both islands will disappear into the Pacific Ocean. Then Australia does their money cold. This is typical of our government led by Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey; they haven't got a brain between them, and they spend money like there is no tomorrow.

As it is, over half of New Zealanders have resettled in Australia already

I see your point. We already have half the tenants of NZ here anyway... but we would still get Antarctica right?

I do believe that it was Kevin Rudd's idea in the first place. Julia Gillard threw out the idea when she became PM. Looks like Abbott has picked it up now.

Looks like it. That's why the price is so high.

It doesn't really matter if they buy New Zealand or not. When His Royal Majesty Simon Abney-Hastings, by the grace of God, King of England, Scotland, Ireland, Prince of Wales, Defender of the Faith, comes into his rightful throne, all these little countries will come under the crown again, along with the former colonies in the Americas and the subcontinent. He has the votes in Parliament now to toss out the pretender Elizabeth and take his crown.

Aside from which, I suspect that the Aussies will have spent the fifty billion on beer by the time an agreement is reached. These things never work out.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that bankruptcy is just around the corner but they are facing recession this year. The problem is that the price of iron ore has plummeted because their main consumer, China, is facing it's own economic crisis. Growth is falling. It's quite ironic in a way because when the West was going through it's own recession the Far East economies were doing very well. Now we are coming out of recession into growth and they are facing recession.

For those who are into stocks and shares go by the old adage.... 'Buy the rumour, sell the fact'

Thats a bit of a drastic move to get the rugby world cup. We also have many mineral resources here, but the country also has a lot of natural untouched land that no kiwi would ever allow them to touch. Was just an April fools joke that people took serious. Besides Aussie would not ant to keep paying our the local iwi's for the land stolen... they would end up further in debt.

Australia is actually doing better than most of Europe ans America. And strategically speaking holding New Zealand and maintaining close ties with PNG would make us a little island fortress. ;)

And also NZ doesn't own Antarctica. Several countries own slices of Antarctica. Both Australia and New Zealand own sections. If Australia did 'purchase' we would then own a larger slice than we already did. (Australia already has the largest section of Antarctica)
