As predicted by TDB – Jacinda wins huge in Australia on citizenship & 501s
As predicted by TDB – Jacinda has gad huge wins in Australia over citizenship & 501s…
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.

I’d almost lost faith in TDB to give credit where credit is due as there has been some vitriolic articles about the PM and Labour in recent times; just a few, admittedly, somewhat deserved.
But you are almost redeemed by your last two paragraphs. Thank you.

Well said Martyn. Shame on you Pedro.
Hmm. So 501s with no business here will be going back?
Not likely , at Best some more don’t get sent
Yes Jacinda is one in a billion and we are very lucky to have her.
I was in Europe about 6 months before covid reared it’s ugly head and everywhere we went, once people found out that we were from N.Z, they would invariably say how lucky we are to have such a caring and prolific Prime Minister. To be fair most of the people appeared to have read widely and had good world political knowledge . A lot of Europeans do, from all walks of life.
Conversely a reasonable number of New Zealanders rely on Mike Hosking and Facebook .That’s it!!. That’s the extent of their knowledge.
Therefore the Europeans mystified reaction came as no surprise when i told them that there is a loud and vocal element, predominantly unworldly, uncouth and knowledge challenged who do not share that view.
The usual response was something like… those people need to get out and see what the rest of the world experiences. They are ignorant!!
You can spot the ones you mentioned in your last paragraph on this story Martyn and they are indeed cringe worthy tribal.
Isnt mr nobogy luxon somewhere in the UK on the taxpayers tit. What a disloyal fool talkng poilitics and commenting on our governments success. I suppose he’ll look up his God fearing right wing christian friend gregory sheriden another foolish tory commentator. Luxon is no leader but may be replaced by next election.
So, 501’s who have “actual community and family here have the potential to turn from crime” but why didn’t their actual family in Australia give them the same opportunity?
Moved to Brisbane in 1999, self and family got Australian citizenship. If you were dumb enough to miss out you either had a criminal record or were terminally stupid.
Now back in NZ and can pick either
Every Kiwi I know has worked or lived in Aussie because the wages are about 50% more and always have been but come back home . Right wing tory tenet is to keep wages low so the ground-feeders can compete to provide cheap labour. Thats what the NATZACT want now – exploit the immigrants. Didnt Brash ask Key to raise NZ wages to match Aussie wages – he borrowed $2bn gave the rich a tax relief and invited property speculators to create his hill billy rock star economy.
