New Australian citizenship deal for New Zealanders living in Australia

New Zealand citizens who have been living and working in Australia for five years or more are to be permitted to apply for Australian citizenship under a new agreement reached by Malcolm Turnbull and John Key.

The proposed agreement will enable New Zealanders who have lived and worked in Australia for more than 5 years and whose income is above the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold and is at least $54,000 per annum to apply for Australian citizenship.

The specific details of these arrangements are yet to be released.
