talking about the issue of whether everyone in new zealand is a new zealander, then i would have to disagree that everybody is a new zealander who lives there. even if they hold a new zealand passport, they are only a new zealander in the eyes of the law. in terms of their thinking, they might be another nationality. in england, we have some people who consider themselves english and not british, people who consider themselves british and not english, some who think they are british AND english, and some who consider themselves a different nationality altogether e.g. indian or pakistani. the same with scots and the other home nations who may consider themselves british or scottish or both. just because they live here and hold a british passport, does not mean they are british. they are just british in the eyes of the law.
