Comparing New Zealand with Australia in matters such as this is pushing things a little far. To begin their country, budgets, GDP, population, and climate are all vastly different.
It sometimes feels like we’re continuing to compare siblings; who learns to walk first, read first, sleep through the night, stay dry through the night. Who is more socially adept, intelligent, sporty. Who qualifies first, who earns more, has a nicer home, more polite off-spring. Who retires first, whose living better in retirement. Whose headstone is larger. Who had the more people crying at the funeral. We are different. Individuals are different let alone countries on different latitudes. Surely the decisions we make over what is best for US should be based on US, what WE can afford, what WE see as priorities.
