Kiwi's discrimination complaint upheld by Aussie tribunal
from : http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news...ectid=10714219
A tribunal has upheld a race discrimination complaint against a legal definition used to deny disaster recovery payments and social security to thousands of New Zealanders living in Australia.
< article snipped - please read rule 7. Thanks>

Re: Kiwi's discrimination complaint upheld by Aussie tribunal
You have brought this up many times before.
The easy resolution to this "discrimination" is for Australia to treat New Zealanders as they treat every other nationality, and deny them any residence unless they apply for and are awarded a temporary or permanent visa.
Why did Mr Faulkner not apply for Australian citizenship, which he had been elegible for since he was 8 years old?
New Zealanders ability to live in Australia without any sort of visa application is very privileged, and to stir the pot by complaining about not being treated the same as Australians risks being denied this type of privileged entry in the future. I don't think any of us want that.
