Episode: Why Australia's citizenship changes should prompt a local immigration rethink
Description: After twenty years of being treated as supposed second-class citizens, Kiwis in Australia are finally getting their rights restored. Aussie Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made it easier for New Zealanders to get citizenship across the ditch, allowing over 400,000 Kiwis currently living there to vote and access basic support. NZ Herald political reporter Michael Neilsen gives Damien a lowdown on these changes, and population expert Paul Spoonley explains what this means for movement between the two countries.
