Generally speaking a Permanent resident of Australia is allowed to live/work in New Zealand. However, it is not reciprical and a New Zealand Permanent resident does not have the same rights in Australia. You would have to be a New Zealand Citizen to have the right to live/work in Australia unless you applied for visas in the ususal way.

I have been told (not verified) that this anomaly was caused by the amount of brits and south africans who used New Zealand residency as a backdoor to settling in Australia.
