Re: Bloody right mate!
That is political correctness gone overboard, it was bound to happen soon enough. Am I reading this report right?, no I can't be. It is racist and illegal to call someone Australian in New Zealand? what next?, is it illegal to write "Australian" on a piece of paper and post it of hand it to someone?, I'm dumbfounded Bruce, I really am, I always thought the two Countries were the best of friends. I think your having us on mate.
Like the song.

Re: Bloody right mate!
It has nothing to do with political correctness, it is sheer ignorance or sheer stupidity. How can you have have racism between people of the same race? the 'offence' is xenophobia.You have to question the British legal system when it can't tell the difference between the two.
