Thanks Phil Goff for standing up for the many thousands of New Zealanders who are long term residents of Australia. Without a vote in New Zealand and no pathway to Permanent residency in Australia we are virtually stateless and easily ignored by the governments of both countries.
Bob Carr – the current goverment has been talking about fixing this ‘anomoly’ for years, I hope we finally see some changes….
When thinking about our ‘brothers & sisters’ in New Zealand, I’ve sometimes wondered, try to envision, whether it is possible that some time into the future our two great nations ought not to consider a kind of federation, incorporating all South-Pacific Island Nations?
