You kiwis can't keep your hands off Aussie icons. The Pavlova is in fact an Australian dessert. Time for you all to get your own dessert

Maybe Aussies should get their own sheep, we seem to be missing a few

O dear...sheep, convicts (alluded to re missing sheep) pavlovas, BuzzyBees & Swanndris...talk about stale cliches and stereotypes.
Aotearoa-NZ is MUCH more than this drab dreck - and I daresay Oz is too-
but ,authoriatively, we (NZers) originated the pavlova (albeit softcentred meringue puddings had been around for decades beforehand.)
Cheers, kia ora Physsher

I don't think anyone seriously cares where the pav and sheep come from. The fact is they are here. Presumably to stay. And if it is so important to have a national icon for goodness sake why bother fighting over burnt eggwhites?
