I just read that too, it was on the BBC world news.
I read it as only new arrivals would be entitled to vote ie; only people that have been there for 2 years or less and no votes may be cast by NZ Citizens. Seems a bit unfair to me???? but maybe I read it wrong.

Just did a search on ABC and didn't find anything. Sounds funny to me.

No way will this ever happen. Only thing I have heard or read that is remotely likely was to do with the linking of NZ and OZ currency to make transtasman business run smoother. And even that idea has been bandied about over the years.

NZ'ers are a very proud and patriotic people and would never allow themselves to be ruled by Canberra. The idea is totally unthinkable.
