You are absolutely right Parleycross. New Zealand citizens can come to Australia on a 444 Visa without any conditions imposed to their visa. New Zealand citizens come to Australia, work very hard, pay their taxes but they don't have the right to receive any benefits from the Australian Government. Only Australian Permanent Residents or citizens can get assistance from Centerlink, for example.

If you are a New Zealand citizen who arrived in Australia before 1 September 1994 (even as an 1-day visitor), you might be eligible to apply for a Resident Return Visa.
