Changes to 501 law abandoned by Australia

The Australian Senate has abandoned its bid to change the controversial 501 law.

If it had passed, more power would have been put into the hands of the Australian government to kick out more Kiwis than ever before.

This is another huge win for NZ and it follows a promise of reconsidering deporting 501s who have lived the majority of their lives in Australia…

Jacinda Ardern in Australia: Albanese on 501s – Countries to show ‘common sense’ and work ‘as friends’

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a major shift on the contentious “501” deportations policy towards New Zealanders and vowed to work on pathways to citizenship and grant voting rights to residents.

…allowing citizenship rights from 2023 will do more to harvest votes for Labour on both sides of the Tasman while the major 501 announcement (as foreshadowed by TDB) is an enormous win for NZ as it will take into account the length of time a 501 has spent in Australia before being deported.

Currently we have case after case of 501s deported here who have lived their entire adult lives in Australia, once could suggest that if a citizen turns criminal after being brought up in Australia, that’;s Kida on them, not us.

Thankfully our criticisms of this have been heard and a major change will occur.

This is the most important news in our gang war because it is these disconnected 501s bringing a level of professional criminal violence who are stoking the gang war that is the problem for us.

501s who have actual family and community here have the potential to turn from crime, but vast numbers of professional criminals with zero family or community connection here are just walking time bombs.

Jacinda has managed a citizenship and clamp down on 501s that National never managed to gain.

Her world wide tour of diplomacy has been an enormous success, we should be proud of our Prime Minister and all the influence she has gained for NZ.

It doesn’t matter how you voted or your current political persuasion, the PM has made bold strides on the International stage that are good for NZ. If you are still hating on her despite her success, you may be a tribal right wing Troll who probably needs to get out a bit more.

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

  1. Is it Jacinda’s diplomacy or a change in the Australian Government?
    Nevertheless I will say well done, lest I’m labeled negative.

  2. There’s an easy out for the Australian government on this corrosive subject and that is leave decisions on deportees to the courts, rubber stamped by the Minister. It becomes apolitical and we have to suck it up.

    The galling part for NZ was conservative bordering on screw loose politicians like Dutton openly shitting on NZ with delight was difficult to reconcile in terms of maintaining our relationship with them!

    We’re both far better off working together as nation’s, not pulling apart!

  3. Jacinda has far far more gravitas and intellectual fire power than anyone being offered by opposing parties…

    Can you imagine Luxona or Seymour on the world stage negotiating trade deals, climate change proposals or trying to negotiate the 501 fiasco.. Not a snowballs chance in hell..

    If people are stupid enough to think that their surreptiticious simplistic solutions are going to some how make things better, then they are sadly delusional.

    What a embarrassment they would be!!
    We would regress back to being a know- nothing inconsequential backwater again!

    • That’s biased beyond stupid.
      Both Luxon and Seymour would be excellent negotiators at that level.
      I trust you not inferring a female versus male thing here?

      • No …nothing to do with gender …that is irrelevant..

        It’s more to do with the fact that Luxon is strictly middle management material at best and even then it has to be a monopoly.

        I think Seymour is virtually unemployable. Both have no knowledge on how to run a country and both have been caught out on numerous occasions trying to explain outlandish propositions that they would never have to be answerable for.

        Easy to talk up a big game.. the reality of their talk would show them to be no more than a couple of enthusiastic amateurs…going forward !!

      • What do you base that on Bob?
        Luxon has shown just how mediocre you need to be to become a CEO.

        I remember previous Natz wunderkind Simon Bridges ‘ negotiating skill with Anadarko…40% of the PROFITS! NFI..

        • If I may Blazer, Bob doesn’t do facts, so his opinion is based on nothing other than his own self proclaimed right wing bias. So there is no need to ask for facts or evidence Blazer, as you will get none, only inane opinions. He’s rather silly.

          • Bert I’ve already explained to you the definition of opinion have you forgotten already.
            Blazer Luxon would have participated in many high level negotiations during his career.

            • And Bob I have explained to you that you are and idiot… just an opinion mind you.
              One negotiates at a world leaders level, the other at a company level.
              A massive difference that you fail at the simplest level to grasp.

    • “Regress back to being a know- nothing inconsequential backwater again!”?

      I don’t think we’ve ever left being a know-nothing inconsequential backwater….no matter how much the media cheer squad tells us now and in the past.

  4. Good one PM Jacinda, the trouble is that once you do something well that people want the buggers want you to keep on achieving! Could you keep up your political heft please this year and into the next?

  5. It’s a definite good trend but I can’t help feeling there’s still a wide gap through which Kiwis over there will still fall. All for trashy baseless political prejudices. But aint that the same for our neediest here in the 5 years of Labour and decades of neoliberalism. When I say neediest, you know who I mean.

  6. This is all very good news, but the point needs to be conveyed to the average voter who currently thinks Luxon’s going to save us from everything. Luxon’s emptiness needs to be exposed in a way that even the most unpoliticised voter understands.
