It's more of a certainty than Kiwis will ever admit or expect. We'd be stupid to fight it to. All we need to do is stop those stupid Aussies from sucking up to the US first.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

in currency possibly ,as in a one nation identity, it will never happen, not ever

personally, I have no idea.
on one hand, the single currency could have a lot of pro's. As one identity, nah, don't think that'd work. I guess it'd be more like a 'europe' sort of affair. I haven't voted myself yet..

Australia's constitution allows for New Zealand to become another state of their Commonwealth.
New Zealand, however, doesn't have a constitution. But we share the same head of state and there are numerous other similarities between the two countries. I guess political union could be one way of getting them to accept our apples...
Let's see what happens when the exchange rate reaches 1:1.

Well I reckon the Commonwealth similarity needs to be put to rest with NZ becoming a republic asap.
As for joining up with aussy the implications would be to detailed to even contemplate, ie treaty issues, trade agreements, stances on foreign politics for example the nuclear debate and NZ refusal to allow US ships into its ports.
Surely if we were to join it would mean one government one law etc, who would the prime minister be an aussy or a NZr the complications go on and on and on, we aint even yet mentioned the flag stuff.
Anyway I dont want it to happen and would be the first to demonstrate and crack some heads over the issue

Without taking into account political reasons I believe we should retain our independence from Australia. We are a nation with our own well established identity (who cares if some think we are a part of Australia already) that I don't think needs to amalgamate with another to strengthen our standing in the world.
And what would we do with all our aussie jokes?
And feesh and cheeps? (or fush and chups)

If it means we could ditch Aunty Helen I'm keen as.
It would definately dilute the South Auckland / Porirua beneficiary vote which would be good for the state as a whole.
A bit of proper government would suit me fine. I'm sick to death of the PC Greeny Nanny State bullshit we have to put up with.
And a stronger currency would mean cheaper bikes!
If nothing changes we'll just become another poor pacific island nation within our childrens' lifetimes (if not sooner) where absolutely everything revolves around a stupid little game with an egg-shaped ball and nothing else matters if accepted that it exists at all.
Oh shit maybe its too late!!!!!!!!

According to the Australian constitution thingymabob, NZ has been a state of Australia since the early 1900's, but it was never made official, because NZ never ratified the document, so we stay as Kiwis for now. I Think its coming though, which is a pity, because we already have a huge populace of wombats, I read about them daily in these forums

I can see some plusses from our side (jetison some of the excess freeloaders (aka MPs) that we have to support, get the Aussies to stump up for some half decent infrastructure etc), but I really can't see what's in it for them. Especially while the whole Waitangi bollocks is still ongoing. Would you invest in a company with such an uncertain liability on the books?
Would we have to have pink stars on the flag?
