“…New Zealanders who migrated before 2001 were automatically granted permanent residency giving them access to all social security services including unemployment benefits. In the late 1990s, the Australian government became increasingly concerned about the number of New Zealanders claiming social security benefits in Australia (see Birrell & Rapson, 2001;McMillan, 2014;Nolan, 2015). As a result, the Australian government revoked New Zealanders' access to social security.…”

Increasing migration regulation affects long‐term resident non‐citizen populations. Using New Zealanders living in Australia as an example, this paper explores the effect increasing migration regulation has had on this population and their ability to obtain Australian citizenship. Results from an online survey found that although 44.7% of respondents want to become a citizen, the eligibility requirements, cost and the application process were the main barriers to them doing so. Leaving them unable to secure their legal status in Australia.

“…The 1973 Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement gave New Zealanders ready access to live and work in their neighbouring country. As the Australian economy developed through the 1980s, many thousands arrived for work – by 2012, almost 650,000 NZ citizens had moved ‘across the ditch’, well over three times the population of Wellington, NZ’s capital city (McMillan, 2014). On the Gold Coast, New Zealanders make up about 20% of the population (Chenery, 2016).…”

“…On the Gold Coast, New Zealanders make up about 20% of the population (Chenery, 2016). Compared to other migrant groups, New Zealanders are commonly accepted in Australia on the basis of shared significant histories and cultural narratives (McMillan, 2014). Yet, such benign acceptance is not evenly felt.…”

“…Historically, NZ citizens had access to all the ‘welfare benefits available to permanent residents’ in Australia (McMillan, 2014, p. 352). Over time, this eligibility has eroded, not least as a stigmatizing discourse emerged of New Zealanders as ‘bludgers…soaking up the sun on Bondi beach’ (Nolan, 2015, p. 262).…”

“…Such debates have been tinged with wider racism as Australia sought to constrain ‘back door’ immigration of Pasifika and Māori populations, resident in NZ, deemed culturally unsuitable to the Australian dream (Hamer, 2014; Nolan, 2015, p. 262; Tazreiter et al., 2016). In 1981, New Zealanders had to wait six months to access social security benefits; by 1995, this was extended to two years (McMillan, 2014; Nolan, 2015). In 2001, legislative changes further restricted access to multiple benefits, including: unemployment and sickness allowances, funded study, disability insurance, parenting payments, and youth and widows’ benefits (McMillan, 2014; Nolan, 2015).…”

Expanding crimmigration: The detention and deportation of New Zealanders from Australia

The significant concept of 'crimmigration' has evolved to explain how criminal and immigration laws have begun to merge, expanding state powers to surveil, control and punish. States use crimmigration processes to reinforce cultural, political and moral boundaries. In doing so, states frequently displace principles of punishment or rights in favour of promoting compliance, security or belonging. In relation to the case of New Zealanders detaineddeported from Australia, this article illustrates new forms of crimmigration. First, crimmigration is expanding in a context of neoliberal responsibilization. Given the gradual removal of economic supports or political inclusion, 'non-citizens' share a deeply precarious space, and more groups are being made 'at risk' of crimmigration interventions. Once likely to focus upon certain populations, especially on 'race' or nationality grounds, crimmigration now engages all 'non-citizens'. Second, crimmigration has expanded to include pre-emption-'non-citizens' are targeted not just on account of their criminal behaviours but also their perceived associations, 'risky' behaviours or suspicious associations. Finally, and third, crimmigration strategies have expanded across borders, in ways that fundamentally distort established legal principles on the ever-shifting grounds of security. The contagion of crimmigration creates multiple punishments for 'non-citizens' that far surpass the nature of their offending or their 'risk' to society.
