Crowded House have been inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame - but not without some protest from the Kiwis in the crowd.
The band received Australia's highest musical honour at a star studded event in Sydney, when they were inducted into the Aria Hall of Fameby New Zealand comedy duo Flight of the Conchords.

But Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement had a few things to say about the award, telling Australia to stop stealing our bands.
"We must stop this, you've got enough bands in the Hall of Fame," Clement joked.
It is the 30th anniversary of the Aria music awards.
The other big winners included EDM artist Flume, hip-hop group Hilltop Hoods and kids favorite The Wiggles.
