I can't think of anything around here that might qualify except US /
Canada relations & for the most part that's nothing - Luscombe v.
Drouillard spats aside.

well he is setting himself for disaster really ... there seems to be
more expatriate New Zealanders than those
that live on the little islands and some of the them are great big
rugger players that could well clobber him
I don't think Aussies and Kiwis hate each other ... there is a lot of
back and forth lots of shopping in Australia by New Zealanders and
trips to the tropics lots of skiing and culture getting in New Zealand
by Australians [the Aussie Dollar is much better than the New Zealand
one ...
on the international sporting field there is a huge rivalry of course
and there is a New Zealand team in the major Australian league called
the Warriors
it used to be that in New Zealand there was a knee jerk inferiority
complex regards Australia .. but times have changed ...
they are definitely different places
New Zealand was settled mainly by soldiers from Britain for were sent
out to fight the Maori Wars and farmers
timber getters and fishermen mostly from the north of England
Scotland and Wales
Australia by convicts and the soldier jail keepers and later farmers
and businessmen but from the upper echelons of England often the
'black sheep' of the family was sent out to get rid of some kind of
scandal
both had a Gold rush in the 19th Century but Australia's was huge
New Zealand is more Pacific Island focused Australia is more Asian
Australia locks up refugees in detention centres surrounded by barbed
wire in the desert
and lets them drown by the hundreds and talks of a "Pacific Solution"
which means

New Zealand makes citizens of them
New Zealand is officially bilingual
Australia has separate language groups
Both have 'race' issues ...
but Maori's have a treaty [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Waitangi ] a place in
government via proportional voting and health care
Australian Aboringionals have the 'intervention'

not mentioned in the above article is that whole communities had
their [social security ] income quarantined and many self help
programmes were disbanded regardless of their success to stop self
determination etc in remote communities
Australia is xenophobic and there is a culture of racism that is
quite horrific
i am try to think of places in the States that are like Aus and NZ
New Zealand is like San Francisco and the arty part of Arizona [not
the desert thing of course]
Australia is like Texas and suburban Detroit

Do Australians & New Zealenders hate each other?
Some buy in Kentucky said they do so he taunts them by saying
Australia & New Zealand are the same country.
He thinks it is hilarious.
I think it makes him (& me by association) look dumber'n shit.
