I work at a shop that was burgled.
An investigating officer asked me where I was between 5 and 6.
He didn't seem pleased when I answered:
"Kindergarten."

Bit slow in NZ. We leave kindergarten and go to primary school when we're five.

Yeah, we just wanna give you Aussies a bit of a head start.
@Zealandia it didn't work we're 2 hours behind you on the east coast unless you're in Queensland in which your 3 hours behind NZ & one behind NSW!
@Zealandia and that tells you everything that you need to know about Queensland if not Australia - particularly when you remember that the west coast is even more hours behind.
@FrayedBear Won’t mention anything about kiwis living in Queensland then, like my mate David. Incidentally, he used to live just outside of Melbourne.
@Zealandia So Dave tripled down on his stupidity - left NZ (1), left rural Victoria (2), moved to Maoriland (3).
@FrayedBear Dave has asthma, apparently the climate is better in Queensland.
Another kiwi I knew got snagged up in Oz immigration laws whilst visiting his Mum in Brizzy and nearly ended up in a detention camp. Had major hassles attempting to leave when the Oz borders were closed.
Presumably you’re aware of the 501 immigration rules?
@Zealandia fraid not. I haven't been outside since 86.
I move out from Sydney region 15 years ago because effect of humidity on my very mild asthma. Brissie is 50 times worse.
@Zealandia I moved to be between 2 deserts. Normally very dry here (10"-15" rain pa.) & when I first came I experienced the last 18 months of an 11 year drought. The only asthma hazard is the wheat harvest which doesnt last long or spread far from the harvesting machine.
@FrayedBear 501 allows Oz to kick people out, even if they were kids when they moved to Oz. It’s pretty tough
Wasn’t a good call for Dave to move to Brizzy with his asthma then.
I didn’t know anything about the Oz deserts, so had to look them up. One of them will be the Great Victoria Desert not sure of the other one.
@FrayedBear I studied some constitutional law years ago and wrote an essay about the Magna Carta. Got a rubbish grade, mainly because I couldn’t find much info about it.
America actually recognises some Magna Carta concepts. I’ve been to the site at Runnymede near Windsor a couple of times, since I lived reasonably close by. The memorial was installed by the American Bar Association. Legal, not booze, just to clarify…
@Zealandia there's the little & the big. I used to live between the two until the religious xenophobes drove me out.
@Zealandia i believe that you can even be kicked out if you have taken out Australian citizenship.
@FrayedBear I understand that’s the case too.
@Zealandia So much for the protection of citizenship.
