More bitching about inconsistency
If they consider the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island to be a “country” for the purpose of listing New Zealand’s neighbours, why don’t they consider the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, which shares a land border with Spain, to be one of its neighbours? Also, it’s only 13 km from Spain to Morocco across the Strait – that’s got to count as a neigbour – and Algeria isn’t far away, either.
