Where does it say anything about "the world's" best city in that artile? It clearly states it's an australian survey, conducted amongst australians only.
Um, yeah, pretty much any city outside australia would be better, at least then you don't have to empty out your shoes in the morning to get rid of all the poisonous spiders, snakes and scorpions that have amassed there during the night... Duh. 
I've got no bugs in my room which is cool considering I'ts been months seen I last vacuumed and changed my bedsheets.

Hahah, that list has to be seriously screwed to have Auckland there. Bugger living in that hellhole.
If u asked NZers which was best in NZ, Queenstown and Tauranga would more likely be 1st and 2nd, not Aucks and Wellington.

im from a small town just south of auckland, true auckland is a bit of a shithole ( i assume it scores highly compared to other nz cities is cause of access to major sports/arts events etc )
also only large cities are considered ( thats why amsterdam is choosen, if u can only include the 3 choices of roterdam + den haag + amsterdam )

Are you trying to brag about your "shoe" size?Guden Oden said:empty out your shoes in the morning to get rid of all the poisonous spiders, snakes and scorpions that have amassed there during the night... Duh.
Anyway, it's the redback lurking under the dunny seat you need to be worried about.
Hmm looks like ": roll :" (minus spaces) is broken!

Yes I guess Wellington is still fairly good Banksie. Auckland is also very exepensive to live in, polluted beaches and harbours you cant swim in now and again and South Auckland has "3rd world rates" for many diseases and sickness(though granted its improving). Wellington ok, it should be up there still, but I still dont think Auckland should be there.
