Auckland's newest transport infrastructure - the replacement Newmarket Viaduct - has been completed for $244 million without a promised volcanic-themed walkway beneath it.
Peter Mellow's insight:
A massive FAIL for NZ. You only have to look at the walkways and cycle paths in any Australian city to see how far behind NZ is in providing supporting infrastructure for people who choose to not use a car, which should be encouraged to reduce congestion, as well as health and global reasons.

Why do we fret so much over what Australians think of us? Especially when we share so many things in common with them - except language, of course.
Peter Mellow's insight:
I've been in Australia for two years now. A lot of New Zealand has a chip on its shoulder about Australia, but for the most part, Australia just ignore NZ. I find most Australians extremely relaxed and friendly (especially in Perth!), but even here in Melbourne, the people are very friendly. I get the occasionaly kiwi joke, but not very often.

The Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement is an informal agreement between Australia and New Zealand to allow for the free movement of citizens of one nation to the other. The arrangement was announced on 4 February 1973 and came into effect soon after. Although the exact nature of the arrangement has been varied from time to time, it still allows citizens of Australia or New Zealand to live in each other's nation indefinitely and take on most employment. New Zealand citizens who are not also Australian citizens may not work in Australia in areas involving national security or in the federal public service. Prior to 1973, neither New Zealand nor Australia exercised systematic control over immigration from the main Commonwealth nations (principally the United Kingdom and Canada), and New Zealanders and Australians were thus free to move between each country under informal arrangements.
