Went for dinner with my cousin, his wife and two boys. They live in Perth and are over for a visit to Aotearoa. Haven't seen them in about 6 years and I've only met him a couple of times ever.
So Oz and NZ have quite different relationships with their native peoples. Both countries have people who think you should pretend differences and inequities don't exist, but that's far more prevalent in Australia and in Aotearoa New Zealand we (generally) embrace Māori culture.
It was so nice to hear that they also think that the way to a better country is to sharing it.
Also really cool that they can show up after such a gap and we are chatting again like we see each other frequently.
