Slight exaggeration at the moment, perhaps. But NZ has been irresolute in its dealings with China (money,money,money) and it has not got into the spirit of the Five Eyes agreement.

Word play can be fun; it can also be used to bring attention to serious matters, such as socialist New Zealand's irresolute stance on China and its relationship with Australia. CNN has come up with an alternative name for NZ - "New Xi Land".

New Zealand has also been playing fast & lose with us.

They are importing Chinese food stuff banned here, doing some processing, them labeling it Product of New Zealand. It gets around our laws preventing unsafe Chinese produce coming in here, & makes them money.

We can no longer consider NZ as a wholly trust worthy source.

Aotearoa is a sovereign nation with excellent leadership under Jacinda Ardern, a woman who understands her nations place in the world. Rather than take the aggressive belligerent attitude Morrison has towards China, as ordered by the Trump administration, Ardern plots an independent diplomatic course for Aotearoa with the super power of our region. Foolishly Morrison thinks China should keep the Australian economy afloat whilst at the same time he engages in took-pick rattling towards our major trading partner.

ttbn, are you the un-named shock jock?

Hasbeen,

True. Particularly frozen vegetables. Birdseye is the only Australian brand.

The Rosella brand of tinned goods has gone. Best tomato soup, which I thought could be replaced by Heinz. No: made in New Zealand. I can't say that it's definitely Chinese, but who knows with anything to do with NZ!

New Zealand is on a par with PNG when it comes to China danger in the region.

Newspoll: government vs opposition now 50:50, but with Albanese slipping further. If the ALP replaced him with Joel Fitzgibbon, Morrison would have to pull his finger out.

Pauliar,

Aotearoa is a name made up by a white colonist George Grey.

And before covid, Jacinda after a series of blunders was behind in the polls and was likely to lose the next election. Labour cock-up of vaccinations and other policies are again slowly dragging her down in the polls.
