When I was in NZ I was really struck by the amount of Oz related news. And pleased at the really quite good and frank and critical reporting of Australia's treatment of refugees and indigenous people - so frank it would be only the domain of 'extreme' left reporting in Australia.

I also found being occasionally mistaken for a Kiwi amusing - once in a pub when I asked what the beers were - the guy was bemused until I said I was Australian!
