There might be a few issues the New Zealand and Australian Governments are at odds at each other with at the moment, but it seems on the big cultural debates, like how to eat a meat pie, everyone's on the same page.
Acting New Zealand Prime Minister Winston Peters has come to the defence of his Australian counterpart, Malcom Turnbull, after a picture he posted of himself tucking into a meat pie with a knife and fork has been described as "blasphemous" by the Aussie public.

Prompted by a Kiwi journalist online, Mr Peters offered his two cents if it was socially acceptable to use cutlery to eat a meat pie, and he was typically blunt.
"In support of @TurnbullMalcolm, I don't give a rat's derriere what people think I'll eat a pie with a knife and fork. Some pies are very flaky, and sometimes you want to put sauce on," Mr Peters tweeted this morning.
