Well the big difference is for 6 (six) Kiwi say SEX heavier accented it sounds like SUX...





And for SEX, the say six (6)





Someone somewhere a century ago got their  i and e mixed up I think.





Even if a person from NZ who has been in Australia for 30+ years, one can pick up that difference in accent alone.

Is Tim and Jim Tum and Jum?

Chalk and cheese.



There is a time honoured test to determine if the person you're speaking with is New Zealand or Australian.



Ask them to say "six dollars and sixty six cents worth of fish and chips".

It used to be that you could tell by how mixed Maori someone appeared but after generations in Australia many young people have either been born or raised here and they're Aussie with Maori background.

A lot of New Zealnders in Australia are Maoris?

Quite a few. Maoris are happy to interbreed with anyone so many kiwi's are mixed race.

Marginally.



Many criminal gangs are Maoris, as well as bikies.

 New Zealand has more gangs per head than any other country in the world,[3] with about seventy major gangs and over 4,000 patched members[4] in a population of 4 million people.
