No NZ visas of any type give anyone any rights in Australia. Only NZ Citizenship does, and even that only gives legal temporary Australian residency to arrivals since Feb 2001.

Nope.

How long have you got until you can apply and are you in a hurry to get here?

Even after you've put the application in you can wait months....and months..............and......................... They're not famed for turning these things round quickly.
