Australia and New Zealand
Two countries in Oceania...more specifically…Australasia. Separated by the Tasman Sea, they’re two well developed countries that often rank really high on nearly every quality of life ranking list and are, uh, pretty awesome. Both seem to be kind of far away from the entire rest of the world, and kind of in their own little world since they’re both so unique.
Which two countries should I compare next?
I must have been tired while making this video, as I misspoke two times in it. My daughter and friend Dan caught them!
At 3:45 I butchered the word "Shire" and at 12:56 I said "720" but I meant to say "1720."
Again, thanks to State of the World for collaborating with me. Don't forget to check out his video! th-cam.com/video/Yg8o3VuTU9Y/w-d-xo.html

small correction: in new Zealand there is no minimum drinking age, only a purchase age, so with express consent from a parent or guardian a 5 year old could drink
well yes technically they could but child services would be called very quickly if they found out a 5 year old was drinking excessively
Haha, I lived in Nz for 20 years and they’re sniffing petrol at three
@@roddymcniven8734 come on bro be realistic that starts at 4 and above
With so many other topics you could have chosen, you bring up alcohol. Is that telling us something about yourself?
@@Dman6779 🤣
I’m a Canadian who now lives in the U.S., but for part of my childhood I lived in New Zealand and visited Australia. In my experience there’s a strong similarity between how Canada and New Zealand view themselves in relation to their bigger neighbours. Thanks for this video!
As a kiwi, I agree, eh.
Some might also say that NZ and Canada are more progressive politically, while Australia and the U.S. are more capitalistic and conservative, for the most part, the recent cannabis referendum outcome in NZ compared to the legality of it on a state level in a few states is the only area of difference.
get out of my country
@@Hono1256 I’m American I’m telling the original comment to get out of America half joking
So you been to the U.K favorite sons
India: Uh
Me: Your name is India not British Raj
@@Hono1256 Give it another 40+ years, and it might have better climate than the USA, since the Arctic ice is melting...lol
Australia has much larger scale fires. I live in Auckland and the sky was completely orange/red for a day during the 2019-2020 forest fires. The fires were over 2,200km away.
Hiii
Yes. Though of course it totally depends where. Temperate southern parts of Australia are main fire zones. Subtropical Australian towns and cities don’t have much fire concern.
Hiiuii
Yeahhhh I was playying something one day then turned around and looked out my window it was so orange/red
@@trulytuna3765 Scary. Where I live it is dry in winter and wet in summer so fires aren't a concern like they are in southern parts of australia.
The relationship between New Zealand and Australia is like a sibling rivalry
Yeah that's exactly it
yeah except the aussies consider us kiwis little brother small fry, they like to stick it up the english.
Just like America and Canada
I'm Kiwi, I was with a group of Aussies when one said loudly to his mate, Hey did you hear the Kiwis were nearly the first country to get to the moon, yeah sadly they ran out of scaffolding.😄.
@@silverdale3207 😂😂😂😂
Finally, after all these years. We have been noticed. The Entire New Zealand Population praises you for not just making sheep, lord of the rings, and not existing references. Instead choosing to look further into the culture and good parts of New Zealand… like how we’re not Australia
Thats what i wanted to know,are the politics there the same as australia? Like restrictions and all?
@@rodrigocisneros3166 not really, they’ve similar restrictions, but other than that they have different political ideologies. With Australia being more conservative, and New Zealand leaning towards liberalism, but still having the two main parties agreeing on topics
We all humbly thank you.
Im so glad our country is finally noticed
Stay over there
NZ is not only notable for being the first country to grant women's suffrage, but also because it wasn't conditional on race, class, land ownership, or marital status. Many other countries (including Australia) didn't grant full suffrage until many years later.
@Marie Summers I thought kiwi birds couldn't fly tho?
oh i wouldn’t say that, the way people treated maori here wasn’t good. Scammed em into a fake treaty to sign off their land
@Marie Summers they sold it, but the translators tricked them into fake contracts so they didn’t get anything out of it
@Marie Summers You need some history lessons. it's funny how empty vessels make the most noise.
@Marie Summers As I said you need history lessons and at least two brain cells to rub together.
The cost of living is actually higher in New Zealand. I've lived in both countries and NZ was a fair bit more expensive.
Look at my sources in the description
I have lived in both countries, Australia is defiantly more expensive, higher Tax (NDIS and Meidcare so called levy is not counted as Tax), you pay for water, higher council rates, you pay for toll roads everywhere. Now petrol is a lot cheaper but you always drive a lot further in Aus. Milk is "usually" the other example people use, and that one is also true.
Facts
Petrol is insane in nz
@@randomdude4669 Toll roads are insane in Australia :P
I'm Aussie and I'm learning from this. 6:42
Note: Australia's agriculture industry is actually quite large, I feel like it's downplayed a bit in this video.
As an Aussie who has moved to NZ, I can confirm that the cost of living is actually a lot higher here in NZ. Housing, food, fuel etc. are all upwards of 50% more here with similar wages being earnt
Speaking as a Kiwi-type ... I think here in NZ (1) the wages are substantially lower than in Oz & (2) the cost of living here is significantly higher ... so Oz has a clear double-advantage over us ... but we continue to passively put up with it in a way that most Aussies wouldn't.
What?! Australia is expensive enough already, that's actually insane.
Yeah but you don't have to deal with the heat spiders snakes crocodiles ticks jellyfish octopus oops almost forgot and AUSTRALIANS Aotearoa new zealand were the men are men and the SHEEP ARE TERRIFIED 😘🐑 BAAAAA
@@heathcornbeef There's nothing wrong with love between a man & a sheep ... it's actually very beautiful ... it's only when they start touching each others bottoms that it gets disgusting (h/t Rik [The Young Ones])
I thought the far northern part of Australia is very tropical and therefore not great for farming.
Minor correction: when you showed pictures of New Zealand's possum, you put a picture of the American opossum, but I learnt a lot even as a Kiwi!
To be honest, I couldn't find a good picture of the possums in NZ!
@@iammrbeat The invasive possums in NZ are Australian marsupial possums.
@@iammrbeat , possums in NZ are the exact same as the Australian possums. They are an introduced pest.
@@iammrbeat A good image of a NZ possum is one flattened with tyre tracks on it's back.
@@iammrbeat btw 660 (band from nz) is like really big idk how you havent heard of them. They are higher up than alot of aussie bands now days i think so that bit was funny to watch lol
I'm a Brazilian living in New Zealand and must say I love this country with all my soul! ❤
manoooo, que foda!! Meu sonho também é morar na Nova Zelândia, e se tudo der certo, eu vou conseguir!! Boa sorte aí, e aproveita esse país maravilhoso!
@@_ghm_4896 Working Holiday Visa abre em agosto. Boa sorte!
@@gbosqueh vai ter esse ano? Caramba, nem sabia! Pensei que as fronteiras ainda estavam fechadas.
Bom, eu vou tentar, mas tenho medo pois tenho só 18 anos e comecei a trabalhar recentemente. Também estou com planos de ir para Portugal fazer minha facul lá, mas nada certo ainda
@@_ghm_4896 as fronteiras abrem em maio e os WHV já retornam. Não tem treta não porque vc só tem 18, de boas. Se preferir ir estudar primeiro, vai. Tem até os 30 pra conseguir o WHV.
@@gbosqueh entendi. Mas eu pensei o seguinte: se eu for para aí com o WHV eu posso ficar um ano. Depois desse um ano eu poderia pedir um visto de trabalho e continuar no país. Nesse meio tempo eu poderia fazer um curso, tentar entrar numa facul. Oq vc acha? Parece um bom plano!
As a Kiwi that’s pretty accurate. Northland (top of north island) was settled by a lot of Yugoslav/Austrian people, the men making money in the kauri gum industry. Large Croatian population still in Auckland (as with my mothers family). Not a lot of Kiwi bands get international recognition fan wise but influenced other bands and artists. I think UB40 was influenced by The Herbs. Both NZ and Aus have provided several of the worlds most famous actors, many Americans don’t realise until they hear their natural accents.
Can second the Croats in Northland, my sister inlaw dated a descendant of Croat Kauri farmers, he told me all about it
As a New Zealander farmer myself, I must say that the sheep population in New Zealand is slowly going down. This is due to not as much of demand for wool as it use to be, as most of it comes from overseas now. So yeah, just letting you know! :)
Yea apparently it used to be like 70mil sheep in the 80's or something like that
The demand for sheep in New Zealand has nothing to do with wool.
I agree and being from Southland, most sheep farms have been converted into dairy farms. So we are no longer sheep but cows...
Agreed, when I was a boy some 40 years ago, there were 20 Sheep per 1 Kiwi, now 6 to 1, but then the apathetic population of new zealand sure replaced the 4 legged sheep with the 2 legged variety.
There's no profit margins in sheep farming anymore.
As a Kiwi living in Oz I feel the whole south Pacific region has this chill vibe to it.The people seem more humble and down to earth and we still have this sense of community although in recent years because of social media the American me culture is slowly poisoning our we culture sadly.
Seeing it here now too bro. It's really sad. Twats protesting and posting twattery on social media. They seem to be seeing a different reality where some of us are looking at it and going, yeah nah!
GS Lots of generalizations there. And you believe that whatever that is negative that has developed in your country is the fault of the US? I"m confused by that generalization. Could you be more specific.
Totally agree, American influence is a curse on us all
@@zaclangdon3218 So you have no free will, and you just follow "American influence" blindly, whether it's positive or negative. Doesn't say much for you, does it.
@@PerthTowne Being influenced doesn’t mean you sign a contract
As a new Zealander, living in Australia I can tell you NZ has slightly prettier landscapes but I think living in the land of Oz gives you a far greater lifestyle other than that there is very little difference between our 2 great nations
you are luckiest in the world, coz it's the most scenic island. love to visit and settle here..
@@susilkumara7995 yeah I can't complain
I've never lived in Australia but i've visited often, i've found Australia to be a little more populated overall. Similar laid back culture however not so much in the major cities. Multiculturism is similar however more so in Aus. New Zealand actually has seasons which is nice, and doesn't get stifling hot nor bitterly cold. I think Aussie it a wee bit more racist towards foreigners whereas NZ's don't really mind.
Aussie car culture is same as NZ XD lots of bogans
Wtf you talking about lol. Aus wildlife kills you. Nz doesn't.
@@WayToManyAssassins The whiter a city is the more racist it gets in New Zealand the north island is alot more diverse so it's not so bad
these comparison vids are truly one of my favorite things to watch! keep it going
Thank you. That means so much!
@@iammrbeat do more vids like this please
@@iammrbeat do comparisons of both peninsulas of Michigan.
Same. Subscribed straightaway!
@@Joe-sd2kx that’s actually a good one
I’m American, and a New Zealander once told me New Zealand is the Canada to Australia’s USA
I can definitely see that!
Basically yeah Im a kiwi and I honestly think of our position in the world as exactly this. I’ve got cousins in Vancouver and this is how we’ve always theorised our relationship
Another kiwi here, saying fuckin' eh.
I like to think we're less of a junior character than Canada but for the most part that pretty much sums it up ;)
Lol as an Australian I agree 😅
U.K: wait Your Australia and New Zealand not U.S and Canada
*U.S and Canada are spending time with Daddy France*
Possums in Australia are protected. In New Zealand they are a pest species. Toads where introduced in Australia in an attempt to rid the ountry of a pest insect that was damaging crops but once there the toads ignored those insects lol.
True about the possums however the roads DID eat the targeted pests however they ALSO ate all the surrounding native animals and destroyed thousands of acres of crop land 🙂
That's because possums are native to Australia but introduced and invasive to New Zealand.
@@lyftloadofhs9539 The problem with the cane toad (including their tadpoles) is that they're poisonous. Native animals that try to eat them usually die..
My Dad made a lot of money trapping possums back in the day. NZ government paid good money for pelts. He still goes hunting in the mountains for deer and he’s in his 70s.
I love when a big youtuber shouts out some more smaller unknown youtubers.
Thanks State of the World for showing me this channel!
anytime brother
You joke, but one day in the near future State of the World will have more subscribers than me.
Oh my god, 3 TH-camrs I watch in the same comment thread, woah
Hi Mr Beat, I see you finally got there :) Like Vexgeo, I also have some feedback and information to share with people (I'm a Kiwi)
4:40 At some point there's due to be a major earthquake (probably >magnitude 8) on the Alpine Fault in the South Island
7:23 "Aussies" is normally said with a voiced z sound rather than an s sound in the middle
7:27 Thank you for digging into this etymology! I get annoyed when people assume we're named after a fruit rather than the much cuter and more unique bird.
9:02 I wouldn't say going without shoes in public is super common but it's more acceptable than other countries based on my conversations with people who have lived overseas
9:09 Interestingly same sex marriage was legalised by parliament in NZ, whereas in Australia it was legalised by a referendum
9:30 I'm somewhat disappointed that you took the time to talk about Australia's unique plants and animals, but not NZ's so much. We have many strange birds and also the Tuatara (NOT LIZARDS), which have outlived the dinosaurs. The animals here are not dangerous but people are fairly likely to be killed by exposure if they don't prepare properly because the weather can change rapidly.
10:35 NZ had a referendum on marijuana legalisation last election which narrowly failed.
15:00 I could make a lot of comments on the NZ history section but it's mostly accurate as long as people bear in mind that these are generalisations and there's always more detail. One difference from Australia is that Māori people were given formal legal equality (and representation in parliament) from very early on. This led to a strange exemption in the White Australia policy that allowed Māori to enter Australia on the same terms as other NZers.
16:20 The feminist movement at the time was heavily linked to the temperance movement
18:10 In addition to Māori people and Asian people, Pacific Islanders are also a large minority in NZ
21:15 Six60, though I don't know if anyone listens to them overseas
21:45 Yeah, I think this is fair. There are some issues in Trans-Tasman relations (specifically Australia keeps deporting people here) but at the end of the day there's nowhere else in the world that's quite as much like us.
Great work on the video and I'll tell you if I ever get around to summarising NZ law! Also it would be great if you could get rid of that thread of crypto-scam comments. Best wishes,
Greenhawk
Yep. All good points.
These were exactly what I was thinking. Appreciate you taking the time to further educate others.
What about the new zealand rock band split enz
So about gay marriage is bit more complex then simple a referendum.
The PM of the time Tony Abbott is extrmely conservative and christian, who didnt want too pass it in parliment even if it was popular, so he put out was non legal or binding postal survey too see if the nation wanted it (also question the idea that the majority should control the rights of minorities). He thought he could use the "quit majority" too show it wasnt qctually popular.
He was dead wrong, 61% of the population who voted, voted yes with a closer look showed in the end like 12 voting areas in totaly of australia voting no.
Even then he try too delay it in the house and senate but in the end it was voted through with the majority of the house saying yes.
Side nore: Both Tony abbott, todays PM Scott morrison and Deputy PM Barnby Jouce (yes the "we kill those dogs " joyce) chose too walk out of the vote instead of showing that against gay marriage, because they are cowards and have no backbone
Edit: During this time, Tony abbot, our PM, was punch too the ground by a anarchist. Many try too spin it as hate towards
Anti-gay marriage but nah he punxh because he was a C@#$, good times.
Do you reckon that we don't care about wearing shoes because our thongs fall off and break so often. So it's common to see someone with broken shoes
4:26 Victoria and South Australia actually have an active volcanic hotspot that tends to make a new volcano every few thousand years. But other than that, you're on the money. The lack of tectonic activity is also why Australia's soils are just plain sh-not very good. There's no natural replenishment of the soil. Sure New Zealand gets an earthquake every other week, but the tectonic dynamism means we have some decent soil, especially in the North Island.
18:42 The ozone layer is thinner here because we're closest to the "hole" in the ozone layer. A hole that exists because America didn't stop spraying CFCs until the 1970s, and we have to live with the consequences. Good news is, it's slowly closing up, though skin cancer rates are still through the roof.
19:13 Yeah, we have universal healthcare. Just like the rest of the developed world. We're not unique. YOU'RE the weird one, America.
20:20 That's an American opossum. The possums we deal with are Australian Brushtails, which are cuter, cuddlier, and unbelievably destructive to our forests. If we could ship them all back to Australia, we'd do it. We also have a rabbit problem, espicially in the South Island.
I didn't know about the volcano but everything else I knew. Sometimes the visuals of possums are limited. ;)
Both countries have much less polluted air but a lot of people in both countries have fair skin and always goes out to get that "tan" or stays outdoors for too long without protection.
@Zoog Ancap The two countries which have had universal healthcare the longest are Norway (from 1912) and New Zealand (1938) Both have some of the lowest Debt to GNP ratios of any developed country on the planet. Before you make the incorrect claim about Norway's oil, it didn't develop its gas and oil reserves until the late 50s and large scale revenue didn't start to flow until the mids 60s, so it went 50+ years running its health system without oil revenue. In fact both have decidedly less debt to GDP than the major advanced country without universal healthcare, the US.
@Zoog Ancap Talk about changing the goal posts when you first point gets completely blown out the water with actual facts. It shows how facile your talking point are.
@Zoog Ancap So after 110 yr in one case and 84 in another both are suddenly going collapse. LOL Yeah any day now.
thank you so much someone finally remembered about us New Zealanders I think all New Zealanders agree that we have been left out a lot and feel a bit hurt but I ad probably many others thank you for noticing and talking more about us and our culture!!!
No. We don't want those people. Better to be forgotten.
@@nzlemming Yep, maybe they'll forget us when they want to wage another war.
I remember my American friend (I am from NZ) saying that most people she knew over seas didn't know what new Zealand was because had little to do with each other
I certainly haven't forgotten New Zealand, I have family from there. And it looks nicer and more civilized than Australia, it looks to be greener with nicer scenery, and I've heard that Australia has a much higher abundance of extremely venomous snakes and spiders, and the deadly sea wasp jellyfish. New Zealand has alot of sheep though, but I like lamb, and if I get to visit my family there, I'm sure they'd cook a nice roast lamb for us. I hope I will get the opportunity to visit New Zealand soon. I haven't actually been there yet, but I would rather visit there than koala bear country. I'm not badmouthing the latter, mind you, Aussie-land would still be an interesting country to visit as well
@@alvexok5523 new Zealand has its ups and downs like every other country and yes we have more sheep the people . 😁
Fun fact: New Zealand is considered a state by the Australian constitution, more specifically an original state, however it is not a federated state like the others. While this means New Zealand is not a part of the Commonwealth of Australia, it does mean that New Zealand CAN ratify the Australian constitution at any time it so pleases to do so, and does not have to go through the process outlined in the constitution for new states, as it is considered by that same constitution an original state. So basically New Zealand can join Australia whenever it wants to, and doesn't even really need to get permission from the Australian Government, as it is dictated by the constitution.
NZ still has the "option" to join, but its not considered a state, so no that's not correct. Obviously never going to happen anyway.
If that's true we should so totally join and reap that Aussie economy. Shit kinder sucks with atm with this Jacinda lead Labour government.
That actually sounds rather insulting to their autonomy. That's like if America had done that with Canada early on, instead of just extending an offer to them to join the USA. It's like suggesting that not only can they not become prosperous on their own, but can't even become self-sufficient.
@@proudkiwi7641 Your name is very ironic.
@@danieleyre8913 ahaha yea that is irony. But it also takes a man to admit when another country is better than your own. I'd go as far as to say that Australia is the greatest country in the world. It perfectly balances EVERYTHING, way of living, standard of living, freedoms, culture etc..... obviously there is the big argument that aboriginal culture should be more influential.
Having spent a long while in both Australia and NZ, I'd have to say NZ is a very nice place to holiday, Australia is a much nicer place to live. And as other people have commented, the cost of living is far worse in NZ. The minimum wage is shockingly lower than the living wage. It's quite hard for most people to get by.
Excise taxes " income tax" duties less in new Zealand
Have only spent 2 weeks in NZ but I would visit again, don't know if I could live there. There is just so much more to do in Aus.
that, and adding taxes where they rlly shouldn't b
@@coopsnz1 Yeah but you’re taxed massively on everything else. I just moved from Wellington to Brisbane mate. And I can tell you 100% that Brisbane is at least 30% cheaper than Wellington, and I get paid 25k more for doing the same job, except the job is way easier here in Aussie, and I get paid time and a half for any overtime. Even after taxation, my partner and I have been able to save $40k more this year in Aussie than we were able to last year in Wellington.
@@izzy031096 in Australia government steal half your money on earning & spending. In new Zealand easier to be a milionaire my parents multi millionaire in retirement
btw, i have lived in both countries and their is an open boarder a free travel arrangement. I can say with out doubt New Zealand is more expensive to live and does not earn as much money so the standard of living is much higher in Australia.
Yeah, it's why there are so many kiwis living here in Australia; the money is better.
Is that a Ukrainian Neo-Nazi symbol? Unfortunate if true.
@KlausBahnhof only if ypu believe in Russian propaganda
@Jaso AR15 The Black Sun is a well established Nazi symbol, no Russian propaganda involved in that fact.
Just curious as to why you would want to be associated with something like that.
I'm here to hear Mr. Beat butcher the place names, but did learn a lot as well. Thanks, Mr. Beat!
Fun fact both New Zealand and Australia both commonly have Scottish descent, places like Invercargill, Dunedin. And Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart and Melbourne 10% of Australia identify as Scottish, and about 20% of the European settlers that came to New Zealand were Scottish too. Here in Southland our R’s sound a bit Scottish, and Invercargill has a lot of Scottish family names too!
So very glad too! Though my mother was a Sassenach, I’ve always felt an affinity with Scotland, which probably started with my name. When I visited Scotland, it felt like “home”, even though my first views were through grimy train windows. However I know I couldn’t handle their winters, so am glad there is a Scottish presence in Australia. Looking forward to the Pipe Band Championships in Maryborough, Victoria in 2024 too.
As an Aberdonian who moved to Perth as a child and likes learning about history I definitely appreciate this fact. In Western Australia where I live it was a Scot, James Stirling who petitioned the UK government to start a colony on the Swan river (what went on to become Perth) also Lachlan Macquarie who's know as the father of Australia was a Scot
Otago and more of the south island also say R's like that. Including myself
@@heatherjay8802 Please dont use sassenach like a casual term. its an anti-English phrase used by Scottish nationalists to abuse their English neighbours.
Fun fact both New Zealand and Australia both commonly have English descent, places like Sydney and Melbourne have 70% English ancestry.
Would also add, Australia Day is extremely controversial here, specifically the indigenous population largely sees it as “Invasion Day”. As such, there’s a big push to have the day changed
True. He also didn't mention Waitangi day which is seen here as a contentious issue, because there's obviously two versions of the treaty of Waitangi and they don't really match up due to the early linguistic misunderstandings, perhaps intentional, perhaps not.
@@AholeAtheist He can't cover everything, and he is also pretty inaccurate about some items, Like NZ is not 50% non-religous. It's 50% non-practicing. (% are est)
Nah fuck em keep Australia how it is
It's only 'controversial' because certain people have certain agendas. Last poll showed over half of Aussies want to keep the day the same as it is. Nobody gives a fuck. If you do then it's your problem. Don't drag others into it against their will.
@@lordgmlp your arguement didn't hold water as soon as you said over 50% meaning just under 50% do want change, and then youbsay don't bring everyone into it? Hahahahshhshshs you have a big head.
Ps I think au day is great for au, but use valid arguments not e have 51% so fuxk everyone everyone else.
Wow what a great TH-camr! I will certainly subscribe to him
in all seriousness, it was a pleasure to work with you Mr. Beat, and I'd love to do it again sometime!
Yes, I would love to collaborate again. And sorry, you can't subscribe to yourself. 🙃
Hi @State of the World
Hello
😀
omng stat of the world i like your vids
Im a native of New Zealand, we have almost every type of enviroment known to man except a rain forest, we have everything else desserts, snow fields, forests, tropical islands, volcanoes, grass lands, canyons,. We got it all. We might even have a rain forest but i am not sure on that one
Seeing the faster internet being in NZ is super satisfying. In the first decade of broadband, the reverse was true.
I've lived in both countries. The 'no shoes' thing is applicable to both.
No shoes in NZ could be more the norm as there is nothing to attack you, in Australia you have to be wary of poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, etc. Then there are the crocodiles, dingo's etc in the bush. In a flood in NZ it is safe to walk in, in Australia flood waters could contain snakes and crocs.

Cool vid. I want to visit New Zealand someday. I actually have a relative (originally from Des Moines) who moved there about 5 years ago. He's a professor of philosophy at the University of Wellington. Yep, a Yank who teaches at a college in New Zealand. 🇳🇿
There are alot of American teachers/professors here.
How does he like it?

IOWA GANG 😤💪
I would have mentioned Split Enz as a pretty good Kiwi Band. Later morphed into Crowded House which was even better but at that stage would probably label an Aussie band as it was formed in Melbourne even though NZers Neil & Tim Finn were also in Crowded House.
Don't forgot there's Dragon, or The Exponents, Dave Dobbyn
Opshop and probably more recognised by Americans, Flight of the Conchords.
And six60
benee is pretty good too!
The Naked and Famous were my somewhat more modern (but still pre Lorde) example of a band with international traction. Somewhat dated now though.
From a Kiwi, this is bloody well done by someone from the US! (I can say that too as I was born in Portland, OR 😀) details are there and all pretty much correct, props to you
just a-shame about his accent tho
Hey Mr. Beat, I'm from New Zealand and I am so glad that I have found someone who shows the light on our country. Your the first person to actually try to pronounce the Maori words correctly. I subscribed! I hope you continue to make awesome videos! Kia Kaha!
Except for the word Māori which he butchered.
@@hudsonquay but much better than most lol
@@hudsonquay lol he literally said maurrii, but he still gets points for trying lol
nah he kinda butchered most of it but he made an excellent attempt. better than my first try tbh
lol he butchered most of them though.
I love being a kiwi and will never concede anything to Australia.
Except for music. I love our music but there’s a greater library of talent in Melbourne than there is in both our islands.
Ikr? I think New Zealand has the edge for me, too, although those earthquakes...
that's because we keep on stealing thespians from you. first was the Finn brothers, then Russel. pretty sure there are more examples.
New Zealand is great, but everything is so expensive. Im staying in Aus, thanks.
And you can't say that is Aussies don't have better coffee
@@iammrbeat Thanks Mr. Beat! I do love Australia, but truth be told it’d be mostly due to how culturally similar both countries are.
Came to Australia just a month ago..
I'm loving it.. This country is full of love and respect for others. Thank you Australia and its beautiful people ♥
Don't get to carried away, 99.99% of the wildlife is out to kill you.

@@life4trinity yeah It’s my dream to serve this country after my studies ❤️

@Memeitis yeah like I live in Australia and have only ever seen 1 kangaroo (not in a zoo) and no crocs.
I just learned more about both Australia and New Zealand than I've known in my entire life!
One common bond between those two countries not mentioned: ANZAC, those special forces that fought during WWI together, with the Dardanelles Campaign being an especially noteworthy one.
This comment definitely deserves more likes: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Unfortunately The Aboriginal Diggers were lied to on the promise of Land on their return, only to find that land promised for them was given to people of European decent.
@@superjohnnygamble6328 Classic Aussie behaviour right there.
@@superjohnnygamble6328 and also not mentioned was that the English first settlers declared Australia uninhabited (terror nullius) when claiming it for England because they didn’t recognise our First Nations people as people, or ‘civilised’ enough to ‘own’ the land - thus justifying not having to purchase or negotiate/treat with the existing owners when settling in the country.
The subsequent slaughter and annihilation of the world’s oldest continual culture still in existence is a stain on our history - the example you mention is just another example of how recently this injustice continued.
Good to see Australia getting a shout-out on this channel! Thanks for covering us Mr. Beat
Thanks for doing a video on us 2 great countries down here.
I am Australian, however I'm sure Kiwis would take offence with the music comment, Crowded house is from NZ even though us Aussies claim them.
Yes. Also, Six60 and Th' Dudes exist.
Our metal is better
@@SliceJosiah exactly
Crowded House isn't from NZ, only Neil Finn is. They started with a mix of Australians and American. Actually if anything it's a Melbourne band.
"Name one band" was a pretty stupid comment. If anything, Australian bands have better international marketing. Supergroove, Fat Freddy's Drop, Sons of Zion, LAB, Shihad are all better than ACDC and Men At Work IMO.
When I was young there were a fair few Kiwi bands playing in Sydney, like Split Enz, Dragon, Mother Goose and DD Smash. They were amongst the most talented groups on the pub circuit. So Kiwi musos have a strong track record. Crowded House had two Kiwis and an Aussie.
Not many people live in the far north of Oz because it is uncomfortably hot and humid, prone to cyclones, has disease-bearing mosquitoes and the coastal waters feature crocodiles, Irukandji and box jellyfish.
Cool video! Chocked full of info! Makes me want to visit New Zealand!
You should visit!
When we finally open the borders you are welcome 😂🙌

Well that sucks for you because New Zealand is not opening up despite the rest of the world doing it.
@@biggusdickus3936 I'm sure someone will wave at you as you leave, I think! Bye!
This was cool, but it would also be interesting to see comparison between Australian states, like Victoria vs South Australia and Queensland vs New South Wales
New South Wales and Victoria*
Well... New Zealand was *almost* an Australian state.
This was goal for someday :)
@Zoog Ancap no state/territory called CAN, try ACT and yeah most of us West Aussies are happy little cave dwellers
Nah bro let's not.. that's too much Australian talk for the world to handle 🤣
Thanks for posting. Oz and NZ are such different countries geographically, culturally and probably politically too, we love to visit each other and enjoy the differences, while more or less speaking the same language. The land masses feel very different to each other - Oz is geologically old, stable and weathered (you mostly covered that) and NZ land is much younger, earthquake prone and evolving. Australia's beaches are mostly fine sand and crystal waters. NZ beaches tend to be coarse volcanic sands and milky waters. Australia's mountains are more like weathered table lands than proper alps. Sure we have plenty of snow but our alps don't compare with NZ's, so we love to ski NZ
Loved the pronunciation of the Maori words haha also really glad you talked about Zealandia so many people dont know about our underwater land mass
It was refreshing to hear the pronunciation mostly correct from a U.S. creator.
@MrBeat - you were so so good on pronunciation with so much of this video, until you said Aussie - like many from the US, you make the mistake of making it sound like Ossy, but we actually say it like Ozzy. And yet you got so many of the other pronunciations right…👍
Just an FYI
New Zealands Cost of living has definitely gone up a lot in recent years, Housing is very expensive now. So if you plan to move here then bring plenty of money or else good luck finding a house ;)
Sad, but true.
Same in Australia
It's higher all over the globe, especially the last 5 years or so.
Also, if anyone is planning on moving to NZ or Aus. remember it's *very* difficult to get citizenship there and if you're over age 45 it's probably next to or completely impossible to be accepted citizenship.
You're better off just looking at pictures and videos of the scenery instead of going there unless you live there or live very close to where it's a short trip/flight.
I’m an Aussie but I would love to live in New Zealand. Currently I don’t live in either. I loved visiting Wanaka and Tekapo on the South Island.
Nah. You get less dole money from the government. This is the only good thing about Australia. The unemployed can afford to be so lazy and just get dole for life.
@@TheTruthIsFiction lmao, can tell that you definitely arn bigoted

Are you working for Doc?
@@jaggybaggins804 I wish! I'm in a call centre for a company named WIRES. I coordinate rescues over in NSW mainly but TAS too
honestly you can't compare these two countries, or really any two countries in general. each are so different and unique and deserve their own respect.
Mr Beat, you have no idea how long I've been blindly hoping for you to mention the King Gizzard song. Thanks for making my dream come true
One correction Australia definitely not one of the easiest countries to immigrate to, but one of the hardest. Age limits, only certain skills needed even with a University degree, and must have good health even if you carry your own insurance as they are obligated to give permanent residents Medicare. I’ve been very blessed to make it for now (still working on permanent residency after living here almost 7 years through 3 different Visas), but a difficult process that takes a long time so not sure where that idea comes from but most immigrants in Australia would tell you it’s one of the most difficult places to immigrate to legally.
Also very expensive. Immigration is a business in Australia.
Wow I wasn’t expecting this to be so factual. I was just expecting it to be making jokes about each other. I’m even surprised it was made but someone not from Aussie or NZ.
Actually fun fact that a lot of people outside of Aussie and NZ don’t know is that during that awful fire season Australia had in 2019-2020, it was so bad that over here in New Zealand our sky was slightly tinged red and we had a constant layer of smoke for months.
I cant remember when it was but we had like a whole week where the sky was a dark yellow from the fires and it was really weird
🥴🥵 sorry!
Yup, full week in Auckland during jan 2020 the sky was a constant state of orange from the smoke clouds in Australia. It was insane.
Same and I was down in dunidein
Here in Wellington it turned the setting sun into a red colour, I've got the photos to prove it.
The same thing used to happen back in the 60s.
Thank you Mr Beat for explicitly mentioning the conflict between the Aboriginal Australians and the colonists. It is still a topic that does not get the serious attention it deserves. Great vid as always by the way.
Noticed that you said that New Zealand has a lower cost of living than Australia. That is quite false as it's actually rather high and very much comparable if not higher than Australia in most cases. It also doesn't factor in our significantly lower wages and incomes which is why a lot of students leave New Zealand after University.
Great video though, completely unexpected to see from my favourite US Presidents channel!
As many people have been moving to NZ that go the other way for the better part of 10 years, Australia has lost most of its bigger economy pull for Kiwis. Its very situational argument, I found the cost of living a lot higher in Brisbane than Christchurch (both 2nd tier cities) but that may not be the case if I came from Auckland. If you look at cost of living indexes, Australia is more expensive.
Australia is more expensive due to the higher wages.
Also 15% surcharge on public holidays due to the higher overtime rates.
An advantage of Australia is the lower GST.
Agree. I nearly dropped my coffee mug with laughter
the possums over here in nz are an entirely differnent species to the one shown on screen, they only share a name
there are a whole lot of other (much more important) misconceptions about nz i think this video fails to adress, and arguably even perpetuates, but honestly i don't have the mental energy right now so maybe i'll leave a follow up comment later
He showed an American Possum
Cool video as an Australian I was wondering if you'd ever do a comparison between Australia and New Zealand. I have seen a video you did comparing Sydney and Melbourne.
Yeah I've come a long way since then. lol Thanks for being here and REPRESENT. Your country seriously is awesome.
@@iammrbeat thanks mate keep up the good work.
Something to add. The sky tower, in Auckland, is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere.
Portuguese sailors are also reputed to have been the firsts to sight and map parts of the northern coast of Australia.
Really? I learned something else new today.
There are rumours and some artefacts suggest that Spanish touched down in NZ more than a thousand years ago too.
Can confirm as an American: Australia has a wonderful quality of life & that is why when I lived there I wanted to be there permanently. But I personally had a hard time permanently immigrating there because I wanted to stay in the greater Sydney Metro where my family & friends are/were & rules to stay in that part of Aus are more difficult since they want to attract people to the more rural parts of NSW or literally anywhere else. Haha. I was also too early in my non STEM career for them to justify giving me a skilled worker visa. Maybe one day I’ll still get my chance to live there again.
That's ok we have enough asians
Good gun control laws here too
@@lucifer-ry8tx Oh, an Australian contributes to the conversation with an idiotic racist remark. How sadly predictable.

As someone who moved from NZ to Aus, im finding the cost of living in Australia HIGHER!
Taxes higher in Australia that why , luxury cars way more . Audi rs6 tax $70000 less in new Zealand new
40% - 80% taxes in Australia
Dragon’s a classic NZ band. Anyone who hasn’t heard April Sun in Cuba is missing out. Although they did move to Australia early on, so who takes credit for the band is contented.
As a Kiwi I thought this was spot on and you're right, we do have a special bond with our Aussie cousins
As an Aussie reading some of these comments I don't really get that impression from alot of you Kiwis but I suppose family's do fight. all the best to you mate.

Wild camels were brought to Australia by the British from Egypt and Sudan as they can carry heavy loads in the deserts. And apparently because almost nobody eats camels in Australia they bacame wild :)

As an Australian I can confirm, Australia is technically an island as it’s surrounded by water. However because of how big it is, it can also considered a continent and is listed as 1 of the 7.
Biggest island by definition and smallest continent by the books.
Every landmass on Earth is surrounded by water so no, Australia is not the world's largest island.
Greenland is ‘Technically’ the worlds biggest island depends what u include
As I understand it the 7 continents are: Europe, Asia, Africa, Nth America, Sth America, Antarctica and Oceania.
Australia is part of Oceania so is not a continent in its own right.
@@kiwitrainguyOceania is the region. Australia is the continent.
We're a continent because we sit on our own continental shelf.
For our American friends, Aussie is pronounced Ozzie. Melbourne is pronounced Melbin by most Aussies.
I admire your effort but you are probably urinating into the wind. Still, change can happen a bit at a time.
People don't believe Australia exists, and people don't know New Zealand exists.
Australia to most of the world: “The Land Down Under”
Australia to New Zealand: “The Land Up and to the Left”
Australia is kind of more known as a British prison colony.

Also, the Cape York Peninsula and Top End get extremely hot and humid in the summer (and are often hit by cyclones, which is what they call hurricanes in the South Pacific).
Mr. Beat showed an opossum instead of a possum. Possums are a different marsupial and were brought to New Zealand to establish a fur trade.
Thank you Mr.Beat your channel is amazing! As an Aussie thank you for doing this video. I am never going to hold a grudge against New Zealand.
Great video! Just a minor note that nobody seems to have mentioned - rugby is not 'insanely popular' in Australia, it's barely even popular. Rugby LEAGUE is very popular in NSW and QLD and the rest of the country follows Aussie Rules.
Go the Western Bulldogs for 2022 AFL flag winners
The rest of the country has a smaller population to the eastern seaboard where afl is considered a niche sport.
@@footscorn melbourne adelaide and perth are all pretty big cities tho
I should point out, while NZ doesn't have many mammals of note, we do have the most (or at least one of the highest counts of) native birds, reptiles and insects in the world.
As for NZ bands:
- Devilskin (from my home region, Waikato, no less!)
- Flight of the Conchords (if you're counting duos)
- Six60
- Elemeno P
- Shihad
- Fat Freddy's Drop
- Katchafire
- Split Enz
- Generally considered an Aussie band, but one of Crowded House's founding members (and he's also their lead songwriter) is a Kiwi.
- Then there's the single acts, like Brooke Fraser, Lorde and Dave Dobbyn.
Of course, my view of what's 'famous' for NZ bands might be skewed, living in NZ, but pretty much all these bands have toured internationally.
Could you compare the 3 Scandinavian countries?

As an Australian who moved to New Zealand, I can say apart from the high living cost, New Zealand is fucking amazing.
Small correction that I just thought was funny, the photo of the possum you showed for the invasive species is what us kiwis call an Opossum and we dont actually have them in New Zealand our possums are much cuter and while they are hunted they are also often kept as pets.
Yeah, our variant is grey with bigger eyes and a fluffier tail.
@@miromcrain2661 🤣 I've had a couple of possums throughout my life but they tend to become mine as I've accidentally shot its parent when going plucking.
@@miromcrain2661 yeah that's what were taught as well but sometimes they look too cute or you've had a bad day and feel too bad for them and suddenly you've got a baby possum sleeping in your jacket pocket lol

@@salad9601 you stop being scared of them when you hold the gun and are selling their fur lol
fun fact: the formation of the four larger starts featured in both the aus and nz flags is the southern cross constellation, which can be seen in both countries.
The NZ flag should be with the fern printed on it. Get away from the Brits.
Yeah they claim NZ has the Sothern cross but it's very clearly the false cross which is an asterism made up of the constellations of Vela and Carina which looking at the night sky is a little to the left of the Southern cross.
@@margaretaltink7152 But like Australia, and Hawaii as a matter of fact, contrary to common belief the Union Jack in those flags doesn't represent Britain but rather the 3 main Christian saints being St George, St Andrew and St patrick, which is the same reason Britain uses it.
Another correction, New Zealand is NOT referred to as down under. That is a title reserved for Australia
New Zealand and Australia are like siblings. One is the loud, more out going kid whose always seen as the overachiever. Wheras, New Zealand is the quiet one who is actually really smart but never really gets noticed. As siblings, they both always fight with each other since you know, they're siblings, but cause they are also family they also love each other. Australia is the one who always has their achievements and awards up on the wall, whilst New Zealand is often left out of family photos. It doesn't matter though, cause New Zealand really hates the attention uwu. Australia is the sporty kid who grew up to have a house in surrey hills and is just a little bit more racist, while New Zealand probs does art in their spare time and bushwalks on the weekends.

I have never heard anyone describe NZ as "easy" to emigrate to. There's an extremely strict criteria to even be considered, and I've heard the process isn't easy
He said that Australia is easy to emigrate to as well - if you ask my Turkish boyfriend who is still trying to get citizenship after 10 years living here, he would say it's very hard. It's only 'easy' if you're lucky enough to have a specific job skill the gov is looking for.
I agree. It's not easy *at all* to immigrate to either country. It would be impossible for someone age 50+ to move to NZ or Aus. as a place to retire. They seem to want young people who have a skill and other crazy criteria.
Also, that's why when you look up both countries on Wikipedia it mentions the demographic is mostly average age 34. Haha, Now I see why after watching this video and a previous video that was about moving there.
I’m from Florida USA and I’ve always wanted to visit New Zealand it so pretty with mountains and snow.. I like Australia but it just reminds me of home back in USA… 😅 but overall both countries are amazing in different ways ❤❤
