When I first arrived in Oz I was always ribbed about the sheep shagging bitI can see that annoyance not from just indigenous but also European Aussies.
A lot of Kiwis I know/see at work come to Australia and bag the shit out of it, saying how much better NZ is etc.
Totally get the patriotism but it can get bloody cringey.
Banter is one thing but it wears thin even with me and other Kiwis that see this behaviour.
At that time Aussie farmers were shooting their sheep as they had no feed during the drought.
My response was always.
At least in NZ we don't shoot them to death we shag them to death
