Do you want to lump them altogether under one nation or are you just doing some serious stereotypecasting here? I'd be quite offended by this sort of remark if I was an Aussie or a Kiwi. Perhaps this was why the New Zealander you spoke to today was so miffed by your ignorance. But then not only do you write like an ignoramus, you really are an ignoramus. Go tell it to the trees.
