I'm more up for living in New Zealand,though games would arrive late.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I love those places, New Zealand to me is always the more special one, but Australia probably offers more oppuntunity, and more of a Asian culture scene, and I'd get to visit NZ often so Australia.
Middle Earth, friendly people, and lack of the most dangerous creatures that exist on the planet today, I'll go to New Zealand
I live in New Zealand, games don't get banned here (or fall under a restrictive and limited R18 rating). The place looks great, has better climate than Aus, and our rugby team is better. It's probably as liberal as it gets outside United States, excluding the policies on guns.GhoX
Plus you can order games from Europe,and they'll work just fine.
:)
Australia scares me, but I would still choose Australia because some of my favorite musicians are australian, and I would like to see them perform.
Im a LotR nut, and huge Peter Jackson fan. Not to mention the landscape is simply beautiful, Middle-Earth can exist anywhere else anymore. Were money not an option, I would pick New Zealand, and start spending more time outdoors. Plus, I wouldnt mind getting movies, games, etc. later then other places.
If you asked this question to New Zealanders, many would vote for Australia. NZ's economy seems to be royally screwed. No jobs around, low wages, high living expenses, high taxes, increasing crime rates. It's a pretty place to visit, but I don't see why you'd want to live there in comparison to Australia. If you're that keen on NZ, you'd be better off living in Australia and taking the short flight to NZ whenever you want a holiday.PlaneforgerI live in NZ and totally agree. Not to mention the mounting campaigns to curtail tobacco/alcohol usage. NZ recently introduced hidden cigarette displays in all stores, are pushing for plain packaging, and want the country to be smokefree by 2025. They also are clamoring for reforms to alcohol sales and cost across the board in one of the most misguided attempts to curtail the "drinking culture", believing that every NZ who drinks does so to get smashed. The reality is, NZ has hiked taxes on both alcohol and tobacco 3 times in the last 5 years because they know people will keep buying it, as well as the excise tax hikes on petrol. There is no clear plan to turn the finances around either - in the space of 2 months the government has flip-flopped their promise of a surplus by 2014. The hair-brained asset sales will not even dent the deficit whilst giving near-controlling stakes of state assets to privatised foreign corporations. There are around 50'000 NZ'ers who depart for Australia a year, which tells the story. NZ is a beautiful country sadly being eaten from the top down. Come for a visit, it is a lovely country. But if you are choosing one or the other to make a life for yourself, it's like putting a one-armed kid in the ring with the Klitchsko brothers - no contest.
Sydney is possibly my second favorite lived in city behind Melbourne. Canberra is beautiful but quite dull to live in.I live in Sydney, it's not that bad.

My experience in both country .... 1) Gillard-Land = people there try too hard to look like american but can't hide their british-like accent (or even worst) 2) Middle-earth = they pronounce "pen" as "pin" ... lolhippiesanta
Since when do Australians try to act American? Or hide their accents? If anything, Americans try to imitate Australians, especially in films. Besides, the American accent is a British accent also, just like Australian and English.

Sorry, a better term would be too have said that the American accent is also derived from the original English accent, just like any other English speaking group.
