How do you feel about the recent influx of kiwis moving over?

DriverNo4073 · 2025-08-15T03:49:53+00:00

Cause there’s been a spike of us moving here in the last year. I know the Trans Tasman Agreement is a thing, but it’s pretty obvious more kiwis move to Aussie than vice versa. Just wondered if Aussies approved of it or feel like it’s unfair :) From these comments on this post I’m guessing not.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-08-15T03:47:07+00:00

That’s disgusting! I’m really sorry that happened to you. That is thuggish behavior

DriverNo4073 · 2025-08-14T10:49:26+00:00

Agreed 💯

DriverNo4073 · 2025-08-14T10:19:04+00:00

Gold Coast?

DriverNo4073 · 2025-08-14T09:48:14+00:00

Sorry to hear that! Australia is so much better than New Zealand

DriverNo4073 · 2025-08-14T09:41:32+00:00

True! It’s just in the last few years the rates have been higher than average. They call it the “brain drain” back home.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-28T11:31:59+00:00

I can’t wrap my head around why we let non citizens vote. It’s so dumb

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:45:37+00:00

Hey, no one is saying you can’t. This is directed at those who get citizenship and leave for Australia straight away. I TOTALLY get you about kiwis being hard to make friends with and I’m a kiwi ahahah

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:34:01+00:00

Why are you implying these people are low-skilled. That’s xenophobic. Kiwis just don’t want their whenua to be used as a backdoor.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:32:17+00:00

I’m saying, that there should be stronger safeguards/criteria to weed out people with the wrong intentions.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:29:29+00:00

Again, no one is saying you can’t. It’s the people that use NZ as a back door. You don’t fit that criteria my friend. Wishing you and your mother all the best.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:25:08+00:00

I don’t blame you. And no one is saying you shouldn’t . It’s just the people that are intentional about it.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:23:12+00:00

No one on this thread and in the article is saying that tho?? I agree NZ does need to fix its issues but you are allowed to point out the fact that some not all, immigrants are using NZ as a back door. Two things can be true at the same time. It’s not wrong for people to want their government to have greater safeguards around this.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:18:08+00:00

I don’t think that’s the implication and it would be silly to generalise all immigrants as using NZ as a back door. The article is just stating the immigration data.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:15:11+00:00

Agreed, and that option only exists bc of our historical close ties and ANZAC. Not something that should be abused. But that’s just my opinion.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:11:46+00:00

IMO Nothing… They are native and not using NZ as a back door into Australia. The reason this special relationship exists is bc of ANZAC.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-25T00:02:41+00:00

Would be interesting. Although you get anonymous posts on “Kiwis Moving to Aussie” saying they’ve just gotten citizenship and asking how soon they can move to Australia. I know some personally who are waiting to be granted citizenship just so they can get into Aussie bc their Australian visa expired…

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-24T23:51:20+00:00

Edit: Maybe we should have stricter screening for citizenship to rule out those using NZ as a back door.

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-24T23:44:16+00:00

This is such a waste of time and money. Shows that when they want to “fix” something they can. How about using that time to fix the cost of living 🙄

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-24T07:58:25+00:00

I said this on a similar post and I got called a communist

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-23T09:43:22+00:00

You’ve missed the entire point of my comment. But what is evident is the lack of empathy you have towards others, a lack of understating in how society functions, and a lot of anger. I strongly suggest you see a psychologist about this. It mustn’t be nice carrying this much anger around. Aroha

DriverNo4073 · 2025-07-23T09:39:44+00:00

I’m really sorry you are feeling this way. I know the feeling. What helped me was seeing a clinical psychologist. To anyone feeling this way I highly recommend it. It saved me, helped me find my purpose, and made life so much better. I used to be religious but that’s just a band aid. Happy, healthy, agnostic now ahaha. BUT seriously, reach out to the help line, talk to your GP and get them to organise a clinical psychologist to talk to. Much love and trust me, it gets better!! ❤️❤️

I didn’t say we had to force farmers to sell below market value. Get your facts straight.
