    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300934879/live-the-day-in-politics Looking at easier travel between the two countries....Good idea.
    However that is eaxctly what we had about 40 years ago, or was it only 30 years.
    Human beings never learn from the past it would seem.

    We are fortunate that there are currently Labour governments in both
    New Zealand and in Australia - the previous National government here
    or Liberal / Country government in Australia did not want to know . .

    You call the shower of shit ruining NZ fortunate? You are truly a deluded little left whinge liar Rich. Or do you look forward to living in a Marxist paradise? Because that's what we'll get if by some miracle Labour gets to be government of the coalition
    of chaos in October!

    A non-political post by me and you make it political as usual.
    Shame on you and your inability to converse above a 5 year old level.

    Are you lying or stupid, Dickbot? The answer of course is both.

    The Key government wanted to get this started, but the Rudd government did not.

    My first trip to Ozz in 1980 was passport free.

    Same here in the 1970's. Back then both countries were less concerned
    about illegal immigrants and criminals traveling. Sending electronic
    data to the destination should enable the receiving country to vet
    arrivals before departure. NZ appears to be ahead of Australia on the
    use of software for facial recognition and matching with passports.

    It was the Australian Government of the day that changed this by
    requiring everyone entering Australia to present a passport. It was
    ironic that this also applied to returning Australians - they did not
    need their passport to travel to NZ but did need it to return home.

    Australia uses SmartGates with facial photo matching to passport biometrics, same as New Zealand does, you dumbass.

    What we should have is passport free, borderless travel between NZ and Australia, as in a domestic flight.

    Will never happen though. Deep down, Australian politicians of all stripe don't want to be seen as the ones allowing dirtbag Kiwis to flood in.
