In 2005 and 2006 the Australian House of Representatives Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs enquired into the harmonisation of legal systems within Australia, and with New Zealand, with particular reference to those differences that have an impact on trade and commerce. The Committee stated that the already close relationship between Australia and New Zealand should be closer still and that:
“ In this era of globalisation, it makes sense for Australia and New Zealand to look at moving closer together and further aligning their regulatory frameworks. ”
Key recommendations on the Australia–New Zealand relationship included:
Establishment of a trans-Tasman parliamentary committee to monitor legal harmonisation and examine options including closer association or union;
Pursuit of a common currency;
Offering New Zealand Ministers full membership of Australian ministerial councils;
Work to advance harmonisation of the two banking and telecommunications regulation frameworks.

One of the reasons that New Zealand chose not to join Australia was due to perceptions that the indigenous Maori population would suffer as a result. At the time of Federation, indigenous Australians were only allowed to vote if they had been previously allowed to in their state of residence, unlike the Maori in New Zealand, who had equal voting rights from the founding of the colony. Moreover, and most ironically Maori people had voting rights in Australia in certain jurisdictions between 1902 and 1962 as a result of the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, part of the effort to allay New Zealand's concerns about joining the Federation. All Indigenous Australians did not have universal suffrage until 1962. During the parliamentary debates over the Act, King O'Malley supported the inclusion of Maori, and the exclusion of Australian Aboriginals, in the franchise, arguing that:
“An aboriginal is not as intelligent as a Maori. There is no scientific evidence that he is a human being at all

Constitution Act 1900:-
127.
Aborigines not to be counted in reckoning population.
In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, aboriginal natives shall not be counted.
The island is believed to have been occupied by Aboriginals for 40,000 years before British colonisation. It is thought Tasmanian Aboriginals were separated from the mainland Aboriginal groups about 10,000 years ago when the sea rose to form Bass Strait
Geographically and genetically isolated, Tasmania is known for its unique flora and fauna. Tasmania has extremely diverse vegetation, from the heavily grazed grassland of the dry Midlands to the tall evergreen eucalypt forest, alpine heathlands and large areas of cool temperate rainforests and moorlands in the rest of the state. Many flora species are unique to Tasmania, and some are related to species in South America and New Zealand through ancestors which grew on the super continent of Gondwana, 50 million years ago.
The island of Tasmania was home to the thylacine, a marsupial which resembled a wild dog. Known colloquially as the Tasmanian tiger for the distinctive striping across its back, it became extinct in mainland Australia much earlier because of competition by the dingo, introduced in prehistoric times.
I've seen photo of Tasmanian Tiger that was shot in the moutains above Taree. Film image not digtal I saw the picture back in the 1980' the tiger was shot through its mouth by Mervan Berry, two Tassie Tigers were in his chicken pen.

robplum: Zealandia (pronunciation: /zi?'lændi?/), also known as the New Zealand continent, is a nearly submerged continental fragment that sank after breaking away from Australia 60–85 Ma (million years) ago, having separated from Antarctica between 85 and 130 Ma ago.
And our Federal/Commonwealth Constitution stills allows them back after how long?
Bad enough they speak funny Inglesh let alone beat us at rugby. Although sometimes we do let them win at rugby league and cricket.....sometmes

Sorry Rob, I was just having a light-hearted moment there.
Although does this mean that NSW has a long history of giving things away?
