Assuming you qualify, an eVisitor visa is usually issued more or less instantly - see eVisitor (subclass 651). Let us know how you get on.

You won't be allowed to board the plane without it so apply for it online now.

Of course it'll be an issue. Unless you are an Australian citizen you need a visa. Only Kiwis can get visas on arrival. You won't even be able to check in forthe flight.

Re: Traveling to Australia tonight No ETA visa
Could one suggest that maybe next time you travel you investigate ETAs/visas a little earlier? You have been lucky twice here, not every country has a system this quick, even just for tourist entry.

It would be valid for 12 months from the date of issue, and with multipe entries permitted.
