We have a real and growing problem here: There are currently 650,000 New Zealanders living in Australia. The Abbott Govt has recently tightened up on their welfare entitlements and theres some squealing going on:
'New Zealand migration to Australia has soared 40 per cent during the global financial crisis, as tens of thousands of South Pacific and Asian migrants use New Zealand as a back door to duck Australia's tough migration controls. But Australia's welfare crackdown is forcing jobless Kiwi migrants to sardine into share houses with friends and extended family on the fringes of major cities. Anglicare wants the federal government to lift its ban on unemployment and sickness benefits to recent New Zealand migrants.' News Corp Australia 28.12.13
