Australia or New Zealand - which do you prefer?

[Creoda]

Getting in on the act.

And where would you rather live, if your country was nuked.

[Zohor]

Neither I guess, since if my country got nuked I would soon die because of radiation

Not to mention I don't know enough about these places, the only thing I know thanls to forum is that genearlisations are wrong, but what is right? I have no clue
I also know both places were a hellhole during covid restrctions times so judging by this one argument I would rather pick none

In short, I'm not sure

Fair enough, I guess it would be hard to tell the difference for much of Poland if it got nuked too.

[Smeagol]

Both countries have beautiful landscapes, but I prefer a warmer climate similar to the US Southern states, so Australia, and based on that climate map, somewhere like the more coastal areas of New South Wales or Queensland.

especially when I live around 150 km from the capital, I guess modern nuclear bombs are stronger than ones released over Japan in 1945

[Beowulf]

i love the landscapes of New Zealand

[Incal]

Australia got more asians so it'll be Oz.

NZ was far from a hellhole. For the few weeks they locked down, people walked and biked the streets and parks. But only supermarkets, pharmacies etc. were open. They paid everyone who worked around 250euros not to work. You didn’t need to agree with the rules to see everyone had a pretty good time of it.

Photo 6 and 7 are very representative of the countryside in general. Green hill country. Some rolling, some steep. Polynesians are not a positive though. Even if like myself, most interactions have been positive, you can’t know the one who will turn on you because they’re full of hate.

I pick Australia. Climate and room to grow with less lefties, less apologists and far better economy.

New Zealand has a nicer climate, Australia is too hot… we have bushfires every year which is God’s way of telling us that much of our land is not really suitable for human habitation.

The Australian government also doesn’t seem to care about its citizens, importing too many immigrants and not banning foreigners from buying property which has made houses in Sydney unaffordable due to a shortage. New Zealand was great in quickly banning foreigners from buying property and they’re not stuck in the mess Australia is having with housing.

On the down side, New Zealand has a BIG problem with biker gangs on the north island. Also, I wouldn’t want to witness all the mistreatment of sheep by those New Zealanders.

[Tooting Carmen]

New Zealand:

(1) I like rugby union. (2) I would find the climate much more agreeable. (3) I find the Maori element interesting and different, but at the same time the British element is strong enough so that it is still pretty familiar.

[Radimir]

New Zealand.

Remember what happened to Christchurch in 2011. Even though it's a bit too hot and dry I often feel as though where I live is one of the safest places on earth from cataclysmic disaster.
