I have no issue with someone in SOA kit being harassed.

I concur - judging by the number of slack-jawed mouthbreathing drongos that seem to favour that sort of 'kit'.

you are going to rely on the likes that can't tell a Sons of Anarchy tee shirt from a gang patch to know that something ridden with handle bars by a group of people in bike gear is not a bike?

Well we now know why Scummy etc only park up in 2's on the roadside... or the local 'Constabulary' may pull up in their patrol car and nic 'em for being a 'Patch' wearing Bikie gang.....
After all if the general 'Plod' cant tell an SoA T-shirt from a 1% patch... they likely wont recognise a 'police patch' apart from 3 of 'em parked up together = bikie gang!

The cops need to watch more TV, they will then be able to identify the SOA types better (and it'll keep them off the streets more) also their briefings need to include images, like WW2 aircraft ID cards, of various patches.

Comparative images, of belligerent Alpaccas for example, would be an advantage.

(a) the general 'Plod' was Aussie - nuff sed!

And (b) we only park up in 2's 'cos that's all the staff we have down here...

Exactly. Retarded is as retarded does. Generally I don't give a fuck what I look like, as long as I'm not wearing a 'Sons of Anarchy' Tee..... Maybe it makes some fell just a little bit bad and if the feds give em a bit of stick, they'd probably crack a fat over it and spend the next 6 month telling their SOA buddies all about it. Jesus, I 'm on a bit of a rant now.... Must have glanced a nerve

FWIW the tiny url didn't work on my glowing rectangle. Had to click through.

I like the $60 an hour, company wagon,super, and weekends off.

The fact that its always sunny and there are mates here from my old kicking ground just makes it that much better.

And lets not get started on the year round theme park tickets for the kids.....

Oh god, a "Life's so much better in Oz" post. Let me guess you have BBQ's every night and "things are just so much cheaper!" ?? You haven't mentioned the billions of cane toads that come out at night, the snakes, the searing heat and the fact that as Kiwi if you lose your job you won't get any benefits. Fun parks? I was at Sea World, Dream World and Wet n Wild last year and I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't go every weekend or every month for that matter. And I was accosted by a bunch of ex - kiwi no hopers, who tried to trick us into buying timeshares. They're probably telling their families in NZ how great they're all doing. As far as I'm concerned they did us all a favour by shooting through.

My life is far better in Aussie, Primarily due to the access to employment, I could not give a fuck about the benefit. I'd much rather have a job.


Snakes, toads, who gives a fuck, we are men, not mice, and the weather is stunning.

Until you don't. But I hear ya. A job with no prospect of a benifit is better than no job and a benifit.

, and the weather is stunning.

What a brilliant choice of words. If I was over there I'd be stunned most of the time. Can't stand the heat.

Really? And what happens when you lose your job, or quit and can't find another? I watched a program last night about a woman who headed a charitable trust for kiwi's in the shit in OZ. One couple were living in a caravan on her front lawn because the hubby had lost his job after suffering an injury. This could happen to you at any time friend, you never know what's around the corner. Are you entitled to the Oz equivalent of ACC? This woman is the only person with any guts to come out and say Oz isn't the land of milk and honey and to do your homework before you come over.

Two people I know in their 50's who moved near Darwin, have only just found out that to get their NZ Super (GRI at 65 years) they have to have worked for 5 years continuous in New Zealand, between the age of 50 and 65 to be eligible. They are now considering coming back.

As for snakes, the people we were visiting in Tweed Heads told us they saw a snake "disappear in the garage somewhere" while we were having a, yes you guessed it BBQ and their kids had to "Put ya gummies on" before they could go play in their back yard! (A 2 acre block with long grass) Oh and the Cane Toads had poisoned their dog numerous times. And we had to go inside eventually as the two electric bug zappers they had hanging in the "verandah" couldn't cope and we got eaten alive. The guy who owned the house was a kiwi Plumber earning a ton of money but he worked 60 hours a week. He said the only good thing about Oz was the weather.

"Where the bloody hell are ya?" in NZ mate and I'm staying put!!!

Go home. I don't see that unemployed Kiwis are Australias problem.

Having said that, Fuck all jobs in NZ and I wouldn't be going anywhere to go on the benefit.

I've put in the ground work to ensure Im employable even in a tight job market, The only way is up.

Good attitude. Living over there isn't for everyone but if you can give it a go then fair enough. The same probably applies to any country which isn't your own.

It would be good however if Oz gave the same deal to Kiwis as we do to their people over here.

Why not? Afterall, it's the Aussie coffers that you've been paying tax into.

What you're really saying is that you'll come back to NZ and claim a benifit that you haven't been contributing to. Why should a job loss in Aus be NZs problem?

Personally I prefer the way they did it in Switzerland when I was there. Bugger all tax but you're expected to pay for your own employment insurance. No argument as to who's entitled irrespective of where you come from.

fuck you chap, Thats the opposite of what I said i would do.

Anyhow, NZ has bred a few generations of welfare dependent shitbags and single mums who are pumping out even more of the same, Boat people are more desirable. Keep the fuckers in NZ so they don't ruin shit over here.
