Hehe! Actually, I can imagine that most people would probably think... Oh, that crazy Aussie! (because of course, they won't realize you are from NZ!) I say go with it! You can even save face because they will tear Australia down not New Zealand!
I have actually done it, but, you can see in a person demeanor or face whether they are an open game or not. Mostly done at festivals. They are totally safe.
Hehe! Thank f for stopping by and leaving such kind words. As always, I hope you have a most wonderful week ahead!
