I would like this survey to be re-run on the 7th July, after their hang over have cleared and they realise they have lost the Lions series 3-0....

Interesting. I design commercial office buildings. We'd probably work well together!

Yeh and that is why you have to import professionals from all over the world. Having so many studious and clever Asian immigrants probably helps as well. Average Aussie not so clever

The education stats dont really consider which education system is better. It is just based on stats such as years in education and level of education achieved rather than the quality of the education received which is much harder to quantify.

Of course, since the Wallabies are likely to be smart enough to pick more NZers than the Lions will then they're likely going to win

No wonder we're so happy then. Best of both worlds.

Funny how a man who walked into a barbed-wire fence (at face height) could make a comment on intelligence. Poor old Piggy!
