An englishman.

Zealanders?
Yes, there is some. Usually fairly low-key though. We aussies don't get on
very well with *anybody* who appears to come over here and takes our jobs.

here.
To an Aussie, anyone who lives in a southern state is a Mexican. Hence to
me, who is a queenslander, anyone from New South Wales or Victoria is a
Mexican. Of course, New Zealand is way further south :-) Mostly we call New
Zealanders KIWI, after the now extinct flightless bird.
