Why Australia is Better than New Zealand
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 00:12:13 +0000 UTC[Early Access]
Hello Patrons,
It's a slightly different video this week. By now you've surely heard Jordan's point about how pointless it is to compare Australia to other countries with vastly different history and political systems like Norway. But what if you were to do the comparison with a country a little bit closer to home?
That's right, it's Australia VS New Zealand. Let's tear them apart boiz.
Thank you all for your continued support. We'll be putting out the big mining video later today for the public to see.

As a Kiwi I approve this message

Also saw a video from "HowMoneyWorks" banging on about how Australia apparently sets a dangerous precedent for the US of "what could be" because we don't make the line go up.

Did you notice Trump claiming USA split the atom. FALSE New Zealander born in Nelson Ernest Rutherford split the atom 1917 .

Jordan, in your last livestream you talked about potentially watching one of those "Australia a horrible place and is just getting worse" channels live, I just had pop up in my recommended that I've been seeing around. The channel name is oncefaded. Hope to see that get done one day, but not too fussed if it doesn't happen

yup, smashing back the goon shots

You'd think that, but the prices here have inflated to disgusting amounts over the last 4 years. Pack of shit Gregg's spices? Now NZ$2.90 for something that's only worth a dollar. The good aussie olive oil? Was $16, now $24. Milk, was $3.00 for 2L, now fucking $4.93, never mind the utter rip off on the butter. Oh and of all the galling shit, San Remo's orange crap pasta is now 10 cents more than the good Italian stuff La Molisana sells at $3.50. Might be cheaper than Australia, but with lower wages the inflation on food hurts a lot more people.

The Argentine president ain't right wing though, or was that satire?

Hey, on the house building front we're totes better, since Victoria drags all of Australia down, down dooooooown. And our politics is also saner because there's no mining magnates or Murdoch's dragging it down. Just millionaires, Tory Scum and the whingy boomers Think Big was a bit of a shitshow though, only the dams really paid their way back. The mega steel mill was a good idea, though it more recycles iron and steel these days due to cheap Chinese steel that sometimes doesn't make the grade. While Ruthanasia lead to my mum starving herself to feed me and my now goblin of a brother. Like a lot of parents reliant on welfare did at the fucking time. And on the current shitshow, it's the fucking 90's again in many ways, everything cut to the point of collapsing, house prices are still stupid and slowly, but surely, everyone is getting pissed off at Luxon et al. Too the point, even the right wing biased polling company has Labour, Greens and Te Maori Parti forming a government next election. Oh and the fucked up the ferries too, you should do a vid on that because it's a $800 million+ schemozzle of hilarious, brain dead stupidity waste that makes Tony Abbot look competent lawl. Anyhow, as long as Gina Rinehart is imprisoned in Australia it's NZ> Australia for me, also, it's too fucking hot over the ditch.

Jordies, just joined as Patreon after watching this vid. As a public servant in the capital, this was both so infomative and soul crushing to watch. Astronomical numbers of public servants laid off. Teachers, cops, nurses, and doctors fleeing overseas, as well as pretty much any graduate in their 20s with a brain. A coalition government slashing red tape to desecrate the environment while getting clout from their voters for culture wars bullshit. Keep the Libs away from the wheel!

Wasn't Barnaby's dad from NZ? Explains a few things

I think that is true. Even the thing about Coober Pedy.

I assume Ruthanasia is what Hewson's Fightback! would've looked like, had Keating not (comparatively) saved the day by doing him slowly.

I was in New Zealand recently during their recession. I went to Woolies in Auckland and compare there prices to ours, weβre paying more than them! Itβs cheaper to buy groceries in New Zealand than Australia during a recession. Our currency is a twenty dollar difference to their own but comparing prices over there to us, we pay more and monopolies taken over supermarkets in Australia than Kiwi land!

My Venezuelan girlfriend just roasted me because my country stole the kiwi fruit and then when she found out I pay this guy to insult me.

Great vid Jordies. One thing you forgot to mention about NZ is the current government implemented Duttons genius policy of taking money out of super to buy a house, then their housing market inflated by 138%

Now can we get a video about the real question by comparing us to cold Australia
