hmmm worst nightmare, wake up an Australian...
Nice place in parts, spoilt by all the Australians living there!
I can see a few pros and cons, but the right time to have done it would have been prior to the signing of the treaty.
Our identity of what it means to be a kiwi would be erased overnight.
Nah, bad idea. Some years ago there was a series of documentaries looking at different ideas for the future - the only two I can recall were the Greener future & becoming part of Oz, which was the worst of them all with us becoming a retirement colony where higher education was only available for younger people by moving to Oz.
But the Greener one was one of the best possible futures.
Well, we wouldn't have to deal with the 501's anymore.
Yes please. Could we be part of Perth please? Save me heaps on airfares...

If you've woken up, you're not an Austr-flamin-alien!

Probably a few too many fish-hooks; why not send teaching missionaries over there and educate them? Once they have completely reformed and are no longer a totally backward bunch, the country may well mirror/reverse as well and Perth will be on the right coast, much closer but still safely outside the moat.
