@yeather hmm arguably a bigger proportion of Australia’s current proportion migrated well after the penal colony settlers.
Logically every country is a settler country in that waves of human migration brought people to those lands.
It’s a pretty tenuous way to describe a country.

“though a settler country” wait, what?
@Dave if you navigate as if you are going to buy, you can put in a value of 1 for units - it won’t charge you yet - then <continue>. The next page should show you your current end distance (ie what you have paid up to already).
@Dave @eagleeyedtiger when you go to Waka kotahi’s website, you can see your RUC balance.
@liv Yes and in the same vein I would not use the term ex-colony to describe us even though we are one. We are charting a different path and labels that tie us to the past are counterproductive. Ymmv.
