    I went to NZ 2016 and saw this similar deals RIGHT after I back from NZ. Then I downloaded the digital map, told myself it is free and just in case. And I have no chance back to NZ since then. It is jinx when you download the map LOL

    Is there that many streets in NZ that it needs a map.

    • +9

      Nah, but there's plenty of dirt tracks for their pushies bro.

  • CHRRRRR

    is there something like this for oz

    • We'll need a set of 10 books.

      • i'll settle for victoria ? (and its a pdf who cares how big it is)

    • With all the incomplete roads and tunnels marked …. that way in 10 years time we can compare the progress

    • +2

      Well both are Islands…. NZ has two small ones separated by a bit of sea. You can't get lost in NZ because water stops you right smart in a few hours.
      Now Australia is One Big ass Island but again given time, saltwater tells you you have reached your limits but I have to warn you going around the coast is not a 2 week affair as my Japanese friend found out on his motorbike. He rang me and said he gave up and will just open a restaurant in Cairns because Melbourne to Cairns, by road on a 250cc Honda, ate his will to live.

      • where was that japanese grit we get potrayed? I suspect he was fibbing and he just liked Cairns. I have a french friend that went from darwin to melbourne on a 125 or 250 honda and his girlfriend did it too. Some kiwi friends went all around europe east and west on their pushbikes, sleeping in tents (thats just insane).

        I'm really just looking for a map to know what to go see in victoria, tourist boards just send you to melbourne cbd which is…yawn… not my sort of thing, other than that philip island and great ocean road, any recommendations are welcome

        • -2

          there is nothing to see in victoria. its boring yellow grass farms with a few trees and dirty (muddy not kinky) cows dotted across them.

          Our economy is way larger and we're one of the most urbanised countries in the world. No good reason why we shouldn't have built FTTP from the start.

              @1st-Amendment: How is building your own hospitals and highways going? I assume you have a toll road for your street and take your own rubbish bins to the tip. How about your own defence forces and police? There are thousands of things Government do better.

                  @1st-Amendment: I don’t think I’m the unhinged lunatic here. However, you might want to look at your own posts.

                  I named 6 without even trying.

                  You can add in sewerage, environment maintenance, water supplies, utilities infrastructure, border control, customs, quarantine, public housing, schools, etc. this is without even trying and not getting down to the nitty gritty of everyday life. Frankly most outsourcing has been a disaster because you add in a layer of profit on top of providing the service. It is just popular because too many people buy the line it is more efficient. It just means managers don’t have to manage and have someone else to blame.

                    So you've got 1985 things more to go to reach your goal.

                    And while you're there, tell us what any of this unhinged rant has to do with this thread?

                    • +3

                      @1st-Amendment: You said I couldn’t get past. Name the duplicates and I will explain why they are different.

                      FTTP was the initial Government decision. Unfortunately the next Government overturned that.

                      However, if this had been left to private industry we would, probably, have thousands of different standards running around in different areas and anyone outside a major city would have nothing because the economies of scale aren’t there. Private industry may well have reached the same devision to drop FTTP because of the perceived cost. Private Industry is beholden to their shareholders rather than providing a service to the citizens of a country.

                      Funnily enough the people most wanting to leave services in the hands of Government are the people who had these things provided by Government in the past.

                        So is government good or bad, because you're not selling it here…

                        have thousands of different standards running around in different areas

                        Is 'thousands' more hyperbole? Because we do have quite a few different standards now but it was the government that did it… again this is not a great argument…

                        Anyone outside a major city would have nothing

                        What is Starlink lol… oopsy…

                          @1st-Amendment: You really love the point by point do you? I will summarise to stop boring people. Given how obsessed by numbers I will just say “many” from now on then.

                          As indicated the only way you were going to get a standard was if the government stepped in and provided a standard option to provide infrastructure. Star link is certainly not the standard across the nation. Oopsy indeed if you think so. Also if Musk decides to pull the plug then the people depending on it have no come back. Their equipment will be ejunk. That is the point of private industry they only care as long as there is a profit in it.

                            • @1st-Amendment: I’m not the one throwing around insults. I am the rational one, you are the one getting emotional.

                              There are somewhat different standards but they are pretty much a variation on a particular technology install. I certainly don’t think it is perfect but Government backing was about the only way we would get anything Australia wide.

                              I don’t believe in the altruism of big business to do what is best for the citizens of a country. They will do whatever gives them the best return on investment.

                        Six is an integer

                        Awesome news… did you just learn this and felt the need to show off your new knowledge?

                        with a preciese value

                        Yes because I am precise with my figures. I can also spell.

                        where as "thousands" is a hyperbolic expression.

                        Only if you are deliberately imprecise because you are making stuff up.

                        Anyway, here's 50

                        Well you didn't read the question did you? If you read the original claim, it's what the government does better than the private sector, not just a list of shitty things the government does. You have not showed how any of them are better or worse. Let me give you a quick example:
                        Health. Most people given the choice, prefer private health services over public services
                        Education: Most people given the choice, prefer private education services over public services
                        Housing: Most people given the choice, prefer private housing services over public services

                        See how that works?
                        Next time you go to the toilet ask yourself, do I prefer to use a private toilet, or a public toilet. Why is that?

                  "There are a million things the government does better."

                  *Watches your head explode.

                  I'm not from Sydney but they seem to like privatising things and contracting out jobs to private businesses over there - I can think of two recent disastrous examples:

                  • Privatising the building industry leading to whole apartment buildings being unsafe to live in.

                  • The Rozelle Interchange. Just lol… 🤣

                        • @1st-Amendment: Given the relative likes and dislikes with our posts I’m not the one with the credibility problem. All I’m doing is pointing out some things are better delivered by Government and some by private industry. Large communal infrastructure may not have localised cost returns but they are provided in the interests of fairness for all citizens. This gives people some level of certainly rather than private industry that can pull out of a service, at any time, if they think the economics aren’t there.

                          You are the one descending to insults rather than logic.

                                Of course you are, everyone is driven by an ideology of one type or another. Why else do you do the things you do? There has to be some reason and that reason is based on some sort of idea. Some people are just more self aware than others.

                                    Bingo! And this is the very premise behind the First Amendment. Everyone is allowed to speak and the audience gets to decide on their own without interference.

              But it's actually the opposite of do nothing, rural and regional areas receive disproportionately more government assistance per capita.
              There's no economic justification to put services into remote areas yet we spend billions doing it.

        • Slap that in an interest bearing account and you can retire half a day early. Or put it in crypto and you can retire yesterday!

    May I say I ordered one like a months ago as I will be going to NZ Feb next year only to be told the following. so dont hold your breath over this one.

    "Kia ora,

    Thank you for your recent request for a New Zealand touring map on our website.

    As we approach the end of 2023 we are moving away from sending out hard-copy maps, however a downloadable version is available to access here: https://www.newzealand.com/au/form/request-a-map/.

    If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    Ngā mihi,

    Sarah

      Pretty sure whoever ordered the physical copy will receive the same message. At the end of the day it's our contact details they want.

      Can't escape from modern marketing tricks I guess.

        Jokes on them I gave them my spam collector email address.

    • That's annoying. I'm also going and wanted my kids to see a nice sized map before.

    Are there any New Zealanders still over there? Pretty sure that I heard the callout that the last one to come over here has to turn the lights off before they leave…
