Some Kiwis - already cranky about Phar Lap and Pavlova - believe it is another case of Australians claiming what is not rightfully theirs.
Now Australia Post has added salt to the wound, naming Russell Crowe an "Australian legend" and putting his picture on a special Australia Day stamp.
The colourful and at times controversial Crowe was actually born in Wellington and went to school in Auckland.
He became an Australian citizen in 2006, but this doesn't seem to faze the Kiwis, who say Australia can keep Nicole and Cate but can't have Russell.
Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush will also be included on the stamps, giving Aussies the chance to lick their favourite local stars.
