Why Isn't New Zealand a Part of Australia? (Short Animated Documentary)

It might seem odd to ask why New Zealand is an independent nation but in the late nineteenth century, its inclusion in Australia was seen as a certainty. Yet, as you'll know, it never joined the Commonwealth of Australia. But why? To find out watch this short and simple animated documentary.

    As an Australian, I feel that both Australia and New Zealand both greatly benefit from being separate sovereign independent nations. There are many reasons for this. While there has historically been some state based parochialism in states like Western Australia (which has a fair claim to separatism given the distance from Southwest Western Australia to any other major population centre or capital) and Queensland (Sir Joh), even the extremities of the Australian mainland and Tasmania still have the "same" geology, biogeography (eg kangaroos, eucalyptus) and related Aboriginal people, not to mention the shared modern colonial and Federation history. Perhaps there is an argument for a new clause in the Constitution granting Western Australia greater autonomy. But it would have to be carefully constructed Pareto Optimally. But New Zealand is actually a part of a different continent (Zealandia) hence with a different geology and biogeography; its Indigenous people are completely unrelated; and its colonial and post colonial history, while similar, are distinct. Plus as culturally predominantly European nations, being far away from Europe, we keep each other company and being independent from each other, we can do things our own way without being dependent on the approval of the other, so we can look across the ditch and see what the other has done and decided if that innovation has inspired us or not.

    Maori has become such an intrinsic part of NZ identity over the years in such a fundamental way that it's hard to imagine NZ merging with Aussie. Also, something unappreciated is the completely different nature of NZ flora and fauna vs Australia. Australia is famous for venemous creatures of all kinds, and for its harsh environment away from the coasts and for weird marsupials. NZ, by comparison, has only one venemous creature (not including politicians), a somewhat shy spider, and is in many other respects literally the land of milk and honey. Oh, also, *no* native mammals - only birds. The common cultural origins of the two settler groups hides the fact that in many fundamental ways they're pretty dissimilar countries.

    There are three reasons why some in Australia opposed it: 1. The Maori and their treaty stood a good chance of leading the Australian aborigine's to organize and demand an equivalent treaty. While the Australian Founding Fathers were OK with this, some were opposed in the state parliaments. 2. There was a debate in both countries about whether New Zealand would be one state or two. North and south islands. This was heavily favored by the south islanders. It terrified Wellington and Auckland. It also was opposed by some in Australia as it would mean 8 states not 7. The problem was the even number tie problems in state votes and Senators were not elected early on so a tie mattered. The 3rd problem was the Irish. New Zealand's Irish was from a different era in Irish history. The were monarchist, conservatives with many protestants. Australian Irish were often republican, labor supporters and Roman Catholics. The two groups were politically powerful but culturally rivals.

    The racial issues, though real, are overblown and weren’t really the main factors. Indeed the Australian Constitution actually deferred these matters to the respective states, so Waitangi was never really in play as New Zealand would be able to determine its own laws in that regard and the Commonwealth would have had to accept them (including for political representation). No, it didn’t happen because of distance and the reliance of New Zealand on trade with Britain, while there was more trade interdependence amongst the Australian colonies. That and the NZ Premier, “King Dick” (I forget his full name) wanted to be Prime Minister of a country in his own right. So, in all a mixture of it being financially better to stay a colony of the UK and personalities that scuppered what would have been a very neat Federation for all involved. PS NZ is basically one market with Australia now anyway so perhaps it gets the best of both worlds 😊

    The REAL main reason that NZ did not unite with the Australian States is the problem of distance: while telegraph communications were a reality at the time of Federation on the Australian mainland communication with the two islands of NZ would not be easy and depended on ships and good weather. These limitations no longer exist but both Australians and New Zealanders are content with the status quo. We still enjoy each other's company and come to each other's aid when needed.

    To anyone wondering, Māori words are pronounced very similar to Japanese (same vowel sounds / same rolled "r"s, / macrons signify long vowels), so the correct pronunciation is: Māori = "mao" (as in chairman Mao, but with a longer "a" sound) + "ri" (as in aRIgato) Pākehā = "pa" (as in grandPA) + "keh" (as in KEtamine) + "ha" (as in HArd)

    Great video. Just a few points to explain why NZ didn’t join Australia. NZ history is very different, Australia was set up as a penal colony, NZ wasn’t. Because NZ settlers were free people rather than former convicts, those settling in NZ tended to think of themselves as quite different to Australians. NZ had a treaty with the Maori tribes and Maori’s were allocated seats within the NZ Parliament in the 1800’s, not the case in Australia. Four Maori seats were established by the 1867 New Zealand Parliament to give Maori a direct say in Parliament. Australia still had plural voting while NZ had abolished it 1889. While not a point about federation, in 1893 NZ became the first country in the world to grant all women the right to vote. (Interesting point is that NZ can be considered the longest running full democracy in the world with all races and sexes being able to vote since 1893)

    This is what you sound like to an Australian : For sure, there were absolutely no free settlers in Australia at the time of federation, they were all 100% convicts and descendants of convicts. or English soldiers. The free settlers in NZ had such a good time where they come from, one wonders why they "chose" to leave ? The histories are so much different it's unbelievable to consider them similar.

    New Zealanders must have come from the good parts of the British Isles, not like those uncooth Australians from the bad parts of the British Isles, totally different people.

    Brandon Kennan I don’t know. I haven’t talked to people from the other states, so I don’t know what they think of Western Australia.
