what about all the label clothing that you guys probably wear ..... Billabong etc. There are numerous womens labels out there. And NZ hasn't invented many more things as Aussies have either.

Who invented the thongs? or Jandals as NZ'ers call them??

But who cares? We're brothers in the world anyway - and perhaps we should look in our own backyard first......

it's not plagiarism unless he claims it to be his own work.

But it was an over the top copy paste job. God knows why he'd want to defend aussies so much.
