Is that a reciprocal arrangement ?

Yes, that’s what we used to call a half baked poem that’s how I got into Australia

Wow! If ever there was a GOTCHA MOMENT, then this has to be it. What are these people in these positions, these people are hopeless. We are paying them. Now we see what the Govt is up to. Thanks Senator Malcolm Roberts. You have just proved how badly Australia is being run.

Does minister not differentiate between repatriation and immigration?

New Zealand citizens have always had residency rights in australia as far as I am aware, australian citizens have the same rights in new zealand

The answer to that question is New Zealand citizens is not easy although New Zealand has alot more saying or treaty with alot of Polynesian neighbours, Samoa Fiji Tonga etc. When you apply for pr in NZ its not easy from PR to Citizenship it can take up to 6years. Then most move to Australia for better life and again we have to stay here for 4 years before we are qualified to apply for citizenship. It's not an easy process.

Your statement is broadly correct , but with some important clarifications. Since 1 July 2023, New Zealand citizens who hold a Special Category Visa (subclass 444) can apply directly for Australian citizenship after four years of residence, without first becoming permanent residents. However, they must still meet residency, absence, character, and test requirements

All Labor are back-door receivers.

Not surprising! " Data published by Stats NZ and the OECD International Migration Outlook shows that roughly 8 out of 9 incoming migrants arrive on a non-New Zealand passport. The primary drivers of this growth include:India: Represents the strongest growing country of origin, leading both in overall arrivals and international student/worker visas.China: Continues to be a primary source for both skilled migrants and temporary visa holders.The Philippines: Heavily represented in healthcare, construction, and trade sectors.United Kingdom & South Africa: Remain the top traditional, English-speaking source countries for skilled migration".

That is such an easy question to answer, if they were doing their job properly, they should know that answer , at a drop of a hat.

How many r on the ndis ??

Albanese’s Australia

Love ya bro!!

Doesn't it take 4 or 5 years to get nz citizenship?

But why? and how has this benefitted us Australians, other than adding more liabilities and pressure to the limited infrastructure and resources? Nz citizens should be sitting the same point tested migration Visa programs like any other countries.

Wow interesting

We need to stop New Zealanders from coming here in massive numbers. We don't have the infrastructure to house them.

Been doing it for years, your right to be concerned

Yes thats right it is called transtasman agreement. So what is one nation policy does the new zealand citizen can just walk over to Australia called migrate no point test no filling skill shortage to the country, This is been happening from many years , Only Julia Gillard stopthis . If u cap it stop it Eases the housing,medical,transport traffic and mainly jobs for Australians.

Debate not opinion Facts not opinion Deflection & protection

Zealand are good neighbours. We still need to know the people that are coming into our country. So Zealanders still need To be scrutinised

Is it true under the real Australian Constitution New Zealand is in our constitution ???

If you want to play that game NZ should change their rules and instead of granting Aust citizens a residence class visa on arrival, make them pay to apply for a residence visa if they want to live in NZ. BTW where did your ancestors come from, how many points did they have to be able to get residency here and how much did it cost them?

Yes, when I recently asked Google questions about migration stats it appeared the points system isn't being followed as closely as the govt claims it is. There seemed to be a black hole. This post makes sense to me.

The only politician that answers the question asked

So no answers… just “oh we’ll investigate and look into this and that”

We don't need DOGE-style cuts here mate. But it's great that you admit up front that you are coming after health and education as we all suspected.

What about the 162 data centres, 15 million litres a day, water for 50-60000 people. AI Everything?

Just like Hanson for 30 years....and now Senator Malcolm Roberts

Doesn't know what the federal education department does. Not surprising given ON and education don't really go together. Proving once again they are nit a party of governance.

The above mentioned policies , sound fine and dandy to me , hopefully one nation party also...will look into oil 🛢, and on shore processing , I think we are desperately going to need it , based on current war issues abroad 🍊 🇦🇺 🍊

Sounds like a great start 🇦🇺🧡🇦🇺

MEANWHILE: THIS IS WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. The taxpayer-funded family trip for Jodie and Nathan that Anthony Albanese probably hoped you’d never notice Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers have come under criticism after taxpayers were billed more than $4,200 to fly their family members to Canberra for Budget night, despite their spouses and, in Albanese’s case, his adult son all holding well-paid jobs. As many Australians continue to struggle with the cost-of-living crisis, Albanese used the parliamentary family reunion allowance to fly his wife, Jodie Haydon, and son, Nathan Albanese, from Sydney to Canberra on May 12. The return flights on May 14 brought the total taxpayer-funded cost to $2,591.32. Both Jodie Haydon and Nathan Albanese are employed in senior professional roles. Nathan works in Commonwealth Bank’s institutional banking division, while Haydon held a senior executive position at Teachers Mutual Bank. Despite their incomes, taxpayers covered the cost of their travel so they could attend Budget night. Treasurer Jim Chalmers also claimed the family travel allowance to bring his wife, Laura Chalmers, and their son from Brisbane to Canberra. Laura Chalmers, editor-in-chief of News Corp Brisbane’s weekend magazines, and their son travelled at a total taxpayer cost of $1,641.14, including flights and airline fees. In contrast, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor did not claim the family travel allowance. His wife, Louise Clegg, reportedly drove from the family’s Southern Highlands home to Canberra to attend his Budget reply speech, with no parliamentary travel entitlement used. Daily Mail Political Editor Peter van Onselen said the claims were within the rules but described them as politically tone-deaf during a cost-of-living crisis. He argued that while no one would object to politicians wanting their families present on Budget night, taxpayers should not be expected to fund travel for what was essentially a family support group. The travel claims also drew criticism from Australians on social media. Some questioned why taxpayers should pay for flights for well-paid adult family members, while others asked what public benefit taxpayers received from their attendance. Albanese has previously spoken publicly about his close relationship with his son Nathan, saying they speak almost every day and describing those conversations as a good-luck charm. Nathan Albanese also previously attracted attention after receiving membership to Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s Lounge from former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, a close friend of the Prime Minister. The latest controversy follows a series of disputes over MPs’ family travel expenses. Communications Minister Anika Wells faced criticism over flights claimed for her husband to attend major sporting events, while Trade Minister Don Farrell was questioned over more than $100,000 in family travel expenses since Labor took office. Attorney-General Michelle Rowland later repaid part of the cost of a family trip to Western Australia. Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie was also criticised after charging taxpayers $853.52 for a trip to Tasmania that included attending her son’s wedding. She later said she would not repay the money. While all of the travel claims were made under existing parliamentary entitlements, the issue has reignited debate over whether taxpayer-funded family travel is appropriate during a time when many Australians are under significant financial pressure.

Hey Malcolm, all of what is discussed is wrong, but have you actually checked what the states want WRT to health and education....They are the ones who asked for federal support.

Where are the costings?

Long Live Our Queen

Tell us all how......any one can say what you say but have no idea how. Who is going to be the leader of ON.

Excellent!👏👏👏

🇦🇺ONE NATION🇦🇺AUSTRALIA FIRST COMMON SENSE

Great ideas .

Well done ONE Nation your the best

There should be a lot of people shaking in their boots cause if One Nation gets in they will loose their jobs 🥾🥾

Pauline is an absolute champion and is really a proud Australian & wants this country to become great again & make sure all our hard earned money stays in Australia as it always should do.

How would anyone know you have no costings & no valid policies.

How about you audit the one nation financials Where are the missing reports Money looks like it is going missing Looks like one nation could teach the Aboriginal industry

Let's look at the wages for politicians and the Governor General as that's ridiculous and no more fucking pension with a new job role would be nice aswell.

Temu trump

Malcolm Roberts has spent years promoting conspiracy theories. Now even Pauline Hanson is being forced to ask questions. Today, reports revealed Hanson will seek an explanation from Roberts over a series of controversial claims attributed to him, including praise for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, comments about "chemtrails", claims about COVID-19, and allegations that Australian politicians are controlled by the United Nations. Hanson has defended Roberts' service to the party, but the fact she now says she'll raise these issues with him shows just how difficult they have become to ignore. One Nation likes to present itself as the party of "common sense". Instead, it keeps finding itself explaining conspiracy theories that most Australians left behind years ago. #auspol #onenation #paulinehanson #australia #aussie Credit: One Nation 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱

Are those glasses government issued, looks the theme...clear plastic with a hint of blue/green tint in the frame.

At least he answered the questions.

Wow a man that answers questions

What a dog

They can't recall anything and they moved on from their latest treachery they say

Still faster than waiting for a response/update from DVA...

He likes talking through is hands shows his nervous

My application for the review of a passport decision wasn’t accepted and without a good reason either, with that backlog it’s no surprise they don’t have time to deal with the matters of Australian citizens

There should be no review process. If you're declined. YOU'RE DECLINED.

How about the flag on the left and the one on the right and un rap the Australian flag

Keep them honest Senator Malcolm Roberts

Power to you Malcolm

I wonder how many reviews get overturned and they end up staying

Is it true that immigrants with AIDS or other diseases and disabilities are given priority to fast track their visa approval and or citizenship if they can prove their care paid by Australian taxpayers is less than $80,000 per year? And if their care is more than that $80,000 they can nominate family members to take care of the extra expenses? If so, does this mean that Australia is operating on a visa and citizenship scheme with taxpayers bearing the cost of non citizens to take our scarce housing, hospital beds and giving NDIS care to people who don’t belong nor have ever contributed to our country? There is no shortage of sick people in the third world countries, but when did the Australian taxpayers decide that Medicare wasn’t to fund our dental care but instead multitudes of sick people from overseas that never contributed to our society , and won’t.

Coming for the handouts

And what Senator Malcolm Roberts what did you achieve?

How about looking into Blue cards? People are waiting for over 6 months to get approved, I've been waiting 8 months just for it to be renewed sorry we are busy and we have not reviewed your application yet. Try next month.

Or they could halt immigration.

Work on the front end not the back end problem solved

"Accountable government"????

Never use to except people through immigration into Australia with any Disabilities etc .

Billy Slee

They all know how easy it is to be an immigrant in Australia!

More grabbermint smoke and mirror dodging.... Anthony Burkas speciality.

At last we have someone that actually answers questions . Senator Roberts is very up with these issues .
