Can this joke be retold. The one and only time we were outsmarted by the Kiwis, and will always go down in political legendry.
This was recounted to my Intro to Australian Politics class two years ago, by the professor, who was asked about Kiwi-Australian relations. I can't remember the specifics, but I love this anecdote.
Upon landing in Australia for talks with the Aussie Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon was asked by waiting journalists what his thoughts were of the statistics showing more Kiwis are moving to Australia in search of work in the 1980s.
His answer?
"New Zealanders who leave for Australia raise the IQ of both countries."
