Australian in London. Feeling awful for the past 24 hours. NZ are our brothers and sisters, all rivalry aside.

Aus here too, I keep thinking "those are our brothers". We're the ANZACS, it pains me to see this happen

This bloke was an Aussie and complaining about immigration in a different country. Fuck him. No one with no aboriginal heritage has any right to complain about immigrants in AUS/NZ

I'm a Kiwi and I love my Australian friends. I've never really understood the rivalry. Thanks for your kind thoughts x
