I expect airplane fares from Oz to NZ to decrease accordingly.

It takes a massive earthquake to bring the Kiwis and Ozzies together.

I feel sorry for the Kiwis. Being moved 30cm closer to an Aussie can't be much fun.

It's a little bit like Southkorea and Japan, Kiwis and Aussies don't like each other. Maybe an act of higer force, that they will become more closer ;) ...

Monoflow: Won't comment on the latter part of your post, but it's not at all like SKorea and Japan, and I'm not sure why people always liken very very minor differences (and sorry, but they are compared to different Asian countries with much longer histories and disputes), with how Japan/China/Korea.

Moderator: All readers back on topic please.

"Kiwis and Aussies don't like each other".

A silly comment if ever there was one.

Back on topic. Does a 30cm move in a land mass require atlases, GPS devices etc. to be updated? I know 30cm is very small, but was just wondering.
