Aussie immigration policy

[FJRider]

The Aussie policy sounds fair enough to me ....

Their country .... their rules.

If ANYBODY'S intending to move and work there ... don't like it ... stay where you are.

Life is seldom fair ... and a few should get over it ...

Same old story - a few professional bludgers spoil the benefit system for everyone else.

S'ok... the UK has the solution and it'll likely come to a country near you soon. A balance must be struck.

Same story - someone who doesn't have a clue what's going on makes an inane statement because it satisfies his inner bigot!

You mean no Kiwis have ever gone to Australia to abuse the system?

The ones that are viewed by Australians as bludgers have spoilt it for the other Kiwis in Australia that aren´t bludging.

WE always let the cute one's in ...

Do they take out your sense of humour when they let you in then?

What a load of shite!. Howard brought the policy in as a knee jerk reaction to stop the perceived back door immigration of asians through NZ into australia to satisfy the baying morons over here. That loophole was plugged from the NZ end shortly thereafter - it now takes about 5 yrs to get NZ citizenship. In the meantime, children of NZ'ers who have lived in Aus since 2001 and are effectively australians - having lived most of their lives here - can't access student loans etc. Those who have been here working, can't access sickness benefits if they fall severely ill, or are disabled, or victims of domestic violence. And, of course, if they lose their jobs - no unemployment - regardless of how long they have been working here.

Australians, who live in NZ, gain access to all social services after 2 yrs working in NZ!

But of course, in your world, it's all about abusing the system!

Not perceived. Genuine.

A couple of Asian chaps I have known said exactly that, they are in NZ for the time required and moving on to Aus as soon as they could.
"Backdoor to Australia" is a very good description.

Well it's not just in my world is it? If NZ citizens weren't abusing the system why would they change the law? You seem a bit defensive - how much bludging have you done? And welcome to the wonderful life of being an immigrant - down to you to look after yourself or go home. Your not an Australian Resident or Citizen. I paid into the NZ system when I was only on a work visa - wouldn't have been entitled to any benefits. It was my choice to stay and risk it.
