This, I guess, is as good a place to ask this question as any other.
Why is New Zealand abbreviated "Oz"? Anyone know?

Well, while you are looking at NWO and American policies and the neocons, check out the neolibs and Brzezinski. He wrote a book called "The Grand Chessboard," and was in Carter's administration. He is the Dems answer to Kissinger. He has also advised Obama.
I really came to this thread to ask- how come you guys are called kiwis? Do they grow there?
And I heard that you are not too friendly to tourists there. Is that true?

Yes the whites love the Kiwi bird so much they have almost loved it to death as this bird is on the brink of extinction.
Just a quick correction – as I alluded to before, the Maori have only been in NZ for about 700 years, so they are hardly indigenous. They are thought to have come from Taiwan (Females) and Papua New Guinea (Males).
These people are NOT indigenous, they are the first colonist

Pretty much all of our economy is built on farm, fruit and veg and tourism, throw in some wine in as well.
Our dollar has been fairly high considering our economic history, to the point that it's cushioning the brunt of the fuel prices.
I could be wrong of course, my decerning studies in the last 8 months have been primarily on American Empire/911/neo-con/NWO affairs.
And yes, our country is run by a horse, but this cat-foo-too-be is smarter than most of our politicians, especially national parties who will drastically worsen our welfare by perpetuating it, helping more people to get on the govt' tit.

Hello my friend,
No I am not a New Zealander, nor have I ever visited, but this thread looked so lonely I thought I would put Google to work and find out what is wrong with New Zealand. I came up with the following assumptions.
1. You have a lesbian Prime Minister that looks more like a man than a woman. She engages in a sham marriage to hide her blatant raving homosexuality. Furthermore, after all the power and money she has horded one would think she would have been in contact with a good orthodontist.
