I would also like to have the opportunity to become a permanent resident and citizen. Have been back in Australia now for 12 years with the view of living here permantly. My children have married australians and I now have australian grand children. Why would I go anywhere else. We work and pay our taxes just like everyone else and New Zealand doesn't penalize Australians for moving to New Zealand I don't see why we should be penalized here for trying to make a better life for our families. We love this country as much as our own and want to be part of it. Come on Oz give us a chance. I feel that on the whole we contribute extremely well to the Australian way of life and try hard to be good upstanding residents and I feel we deserve a better deal.

Let Kiwis receive the same attention as aussies! My family and I have lived here around 10 years now and because we are not citizens we can not receive a bond for university... its not fair! We put in a lot to help out our community, it would be nice to receive something in return... We cannot afford to pay up front fees for such expensive courses however my mum has to work none stop to pay for us. She is stressed to the max and I want to see her not worry about anything for once, I want to see her happy again. Please change the legislation.

Many Kiwi's in Australia have been there for almost there entire lives contributing to society and working hard like everyone else. They should be entitled to all the same benefits.

Emigrated 13 yrs ago with 3 children through the correct channels. All tax payers, law abiding. Two children looking to attend Uni without help of access to Hex loan. They will still attend due to hard work and cut backs in the family unit. When will the Government realize it's holding back it's future generation who are looking to contribute to society in Australia not just free load, unlike the majority of so called refugees?

Ms Gillard's speech on 16/02/2011 "Australia has many alliances and friendships around the world, economic and defence partnerships of every kind; but New Zealand alone is family" Then why do you differentiate this Hard working Kiwi families in Australia???

I agree there should be a stand down period of maybe two years after that nz citizens should be able to apply for and be granted permanent residence, my daughter has been living and working in perth for three years, paying her taxes and living her life, she has proved she is able and willing to work and is now at uni paying her fees upfront and also working at the same time, she will be a great asset to australia and with cases like hers she should have proven herself enough to the government to be granted a permanent visa, if the government are willing to allow kiwi citizens the right to live and work in australia then after a qualifying period they should be allowed to gain permanent residency and then citizenship.

This needs to change. If it does not, in the coming years we will be referred to as yet another generation mistreated unnecessarily by the Australian government. We came for the opportunity for a better life for ourselves and our children the same reason everyone else before us in the last hundred years came. Why should we then be treated differently. If this country goes to war will we not fight for it too ?

Why should we not get citizenship if we are over 45 but working and contributing to Australia, we still have 20 years of work before we can retire. It also means our school age children cannot become citizens and therefore cannot afford for them to get a university degree - unfair. If we cannot get the same as others living in Australia, reduce our taxes so we can save towards fees/when we are sick and cannot work/or have lost our jobs. Make it: if your child goes to school here then they should be able to get citizenship if parents are working/paying taxes/own their own home/planning to retire here - Make it fair - that is all I ask - fair to us - fair to our children

The legislation certainly disadvantaged New Zealanders'. Equally unjust is inability to enjoy the NZ Age Pension scheme which I enjoyed while living in NZ but lost merely because I changed my address to Australia

We don't come to Australia to sit around on the beaches all day and bludge. We come here to work and hopefully give our children a better way of life. I don't want handouts I just want support in times of hardship.

I needed to move back to Nz so I could go to university. Which is not my first choice but what I needed to do as could not afford to study in Australia. I previously worked in Queensland for 1.5 years before making the decision to study. I hope one day this law changes.

Would be really nice to be able to become a permanent resident/citizen when you live here & have no intentions of going back to nz when you see others coming over from other countries, not working and being able to become citizens.
