Hi Hotel,

dies ist zwar nicht die urspüngliche Meldung - aber doch aus sicherer Quelle:

A Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) warning about travel to New Zealand has caused amusement across the Tasman, with most New Zealanders thinking they have more to worry about in Australia.

DFAT is advising travellers to New Zealand to be aware of the threat of earthquakes and also mentions the general risk of global terrorism.

New Zealand´s foreign affairs minister Phil Goff says a bit of seismic activity is nothing to worry about compared to the dangers facing tourists in Australia.

"I´m told repeatedly of people receiving snake bites, [of] funnel web spiders and being bitten by crocodiles so I don´t think it´s a serious warning," Mr Goff said.

Given New Zealand´s well-known history of earthquakes, some Kiwis are quite smug that Australia´s Foreign Affairs officials only just appear to have realised that the earth does move across the Tasman.
