Yes but then I applied for PR as if I had never been here.

All that's needed is every Kiwi in Australia promising to vote labour if only they could.

The government will make them PRs before the election i'm sure!

Comon Kiwis, get the message out there

What makes you assume every Kiwi wants PR?

not 100 percent correct british subjects who enrolled before 1986 can vote, in fact I know a kiwi who was out of country whiles rules changed so is a non protected SCV but is still enrolled to vote.... Strange but true.

Indeed. One friend of mine here on the SCV definitely does not, as he would have to start paying tax on his overseas investments.

Travel and movement between the IOM and UK are obviously unrestricted. But if you move from the UK to the IOM and become resident you notice some big differences. Income tax at a maximum of 20%, you have to make a Manx will, no inheritance tax and then there are a few legal anomalies, eg http://jurist.org/hotline/2012/12/pa...osexuality.php

My parents used to live on the island and I dealt with both their estates when they died, so I have dealt with both systems.

It would appear that this story might have some truth to it see Dom post today...

Thousands of New Zealanders living "temporarily" in Australia could win residency - but only after spending nearly a decade in the country.

Internal Australian immigration documents reveal a proposed "pathway" that would allow New Zealanders living in Australia to gain permanent residency after "eight years or more".

The proposal has been presented to the Cabinet in Australia, although its status is unclear

Additionally I think you will find that the NZ'ers impact on the Australian economy is positive, as studies have shown. The restrictions on NZ'ers has also been recognised as being pretty dodgy/racist from various global organisations.
