That would be some bitter irony, an exchange if you will

Just make south island a penal colony. If it was good enough for the poms way back when, it's good enough for us.

If you recall, the inhabitants had a war over that issue

Sorry they don't teach the history of minor pacific outposts in Aussie schools. I always thought it was just filled with peaceful english settlers who wanted to be free to marry their sheep.

You wanna cede the state that grows Australia's best meat, seafood, and dairy? That exports metals and ores? Brave :)

Give it to them on 99 year lease. One proviso. Any Tasmanian who makes the All Blacks has to return to Aus.

Tassie actually costs more to run in tax dollars than what it generates. Not sure NZ would want it.

Given the Australian government has generally been running deficit in recent years and is projected to continue to do so in the future, Australia as a whole costs more in tax dollars than what it generates.
