Your answers should be true or false



1) NZ is part of Australia

2) NZ has the currently number one ranked rugby team in the world

3) dave nz is a nice guy

4) NZ finished ahead of the USA in the final placings at the 2002 World basketball champs

5) NZ is a 3rd world country and stricken by poverty

6) Prostitution is legal in NZ

2) false, I would think that inner city NY has the top ranked team
3) True, barely hehe
4) False, they only play Rugby in NZ
5) false, after Daves winning in sports wagering, it has raised the country from the third world country status.

7)False, Why in the world would they want to do that!

Doesn't England still exile all their criminals to NZ? Heard that island was just a big prison basically. So dave are you a drug user or did you just rob somebody to get there?

Answers



1) NZ is part of Australia

False. Two different countries it is a 3 hour plane trip between the countries.


2) NZ has the currently number one ranked rugby team in the world


True. Anyone who has not witnessed them in action, check them out they are quite an amazing team. AKA. The All Blacks.


3) dave nz is a nice guy

True.


4) NZ finished ahead of the USA in the final placings at the 2002 World basketball champs


True. A real oddity here while basketball is a popular sport here, with NZ's population of 4 million, there is only so much sporting talent to go around. Rugby gets alot. NZ would do well to cover 30 points vs The USA in basketball on most occasions.



5) NZ is a 3rd world country and stricken by poverty

False. This couldn't be further from the truth. NZ is a well developed nation with very little poverty.


6) Prostitution is legal in NZ

True. There are legal brothels and adult entertainment joints in NZ. Technically street workers aren't legal but these days that is generally turned a blind eye to by the boys in blue too.


7) NZ has a female prime minister

True. But guys don't get excited what she has in brains she certainly lacks in the looks department.


8) Sydney with a population of 3 milllion is a NZ City


False. Sydney is an Australian City and has more than 3 million anyway.
