Stay up with the play mate. Even Quade bloody Cooper - a wallaby who's played many times for Australia and looks like doing it again - can't get accepted for aussie citizenship.
They want our labor, our taxes when we're there and our best sportspeople - but give us citizenship ? Fuck off.
I found it interesting to realise recently why NZ was never accepted as a state of Oz. Because we (the NZ govt of the time) had signed a treaty with the indigenous people - the Maori in case you've forgotten Jason - but Oz hadn't and wouldn't. The legal problems that would have thrown up for the crown in OZ stopped us becoming a state.
The Maori as a consequence have never been hunted for a bounty on their heads. The Aboriginals however...
Aussies - don't you love them....
