AUS election: Labor eyes changes to NZ rights, refugees

Australians head to the ballot box tomorrow and if the polls are correct Labor is the most likely party to win, ousting the Liberal-National coalition. Labor's manifesto includes considering permanent residency and citizenship status for New Zealanders. The party's policy points out the iniquity of some New Zealanders' positions in Australia, even if they are longterm residents. And it also intends to take up New Zealand's offer of taking in 150 refugees a year from Nauru and Manus. As New South Wales legislative council member Rose Jackson says that is a priority for Labor.
