What would your 'invade Australia' advertisement say?

Updated: 10:21AM Friday August 7, 2009

Two Australian advertising agencies have put together mock ads promoting an invasion of New Zealand.

The mock ads were prepared for TV programme The Gruen Transfer, which screens on ABC in Australia on Monday nights. The show includes a slot called "The Pitch" where two advertising agencies are pitted against each other and challenged with selling the unsellable.

Debate on this issue is now closed. Here a selection of Your Views:

Friday August 7, 2009 Why wouldn't you Kiwi's want to be apart of Australia? We have a better sport (AFL), a better cricket team and better netball teams! We have Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, you have nothing. We have kangaroos and koala's.you have sheep. And if you really wanted to invade us you wouldn't have a chance. Your population is 4-5 million, ours is 21 million.
P.S. It's Aussies, not Ozzie's
P.P.S. I am an Aussie, born in Australia, so that's that matter resolved
P.P.P.S. The whole ad was a joke, but its 100% true!
