just wondered if anyone could verify what i was told when last in Aus.
I was told that Australian citizens can settle in NZ and NZ citizens can also Live in Australia. Is it that simple?.

thanks

Yes it is. Australian citizens can freely live in NZ (automatic permanent residence) and become NZ citizens after meeting normal residence requirements (likely to be 5 years soon). See http://www.immigration.govt.nz

NZ citizens can also live freely in Australia, although since 2001 they are not automatically given access to full permanent residence or citizenship rights. See http://www.nz-oz.gov.au
