They were formed in Australia and most of the members of the band have been Australian. They've called themselves an Australian band before... but obviously Neil Finn is a New Zealander and obviously a rather important part of the band!

They briefly only ever had more than 1 kiwi in the band when Tim Finn joined. Based in Melbourne with 2 Aussie's and a kiwi doesn't really rank them as kiwi as say Shihad.
 
The final line up before they reunited a few years ago had 2 aussies and an american as well.
 
Did we ever claim the Thompson Twins as a kiwi band because Allanah Currie was born here??

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Am I right in saying that most of the songs were composed by the Finns? Therefore probably have a Kiwi heart
