1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This is gem nation with Jonesy.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy de matter answer

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: to the pub test and today kiwi's voting in Australia.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Does this pass the pub time? Well, this is a

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: plan that's been mooted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanizi with

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Ja Cinda a Dern when they are in Sydney together recently.

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Six hundred and seventy thousand New Zealanders living in Australia

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: would have the right to vote in Australia and the

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: same would happen for kiwi's Australians living in New Zealand.

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: Harley is a KIWI, he's an he was Newted but

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: he's allowed to vote in the local New Zealand elections

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: as he does. Some of the comments here are interesting

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: saying someone has said the barriers for kewis to get

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: Australian citizenship is already easy. It's already low. So if

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: you want to vote, just get Australian citizenship. It's easy

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: for New Zealanders then other nationalities. The numbers though, were interesting,

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: As we said, six hundred and seventy thousand New Zealanders

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: would have the right to vote. Then here our last

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: federal elect about four hundred and fifty thousand votes, all

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: separated the two major primary votes.

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: It's a lot of ates.

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it is a lot of votes. How do

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: you feel, Key We's voting in Australia? Do is it

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: past the pub test?

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I've been living in Australia now for fourteen years. I've

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: been paying the highest tax rate possible for this whole time,

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: and I can't even vote. I currently access to a

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: certain benefits. It's so incredibly unfair. I certainly think it does.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: But I also want to correct Amanda, because Key We

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: don't automatically get the ability to have permanent residency when

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: they've gone to Australia anymore. That was changed by John

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: Howard in two thousand and one.

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: Is a key we living in Australia. No, I'm applying

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: for my citizenship right now through the supposedly easier pathway

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: that New Zealanders were giving quite some time ago. But

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: it is not easy at all. One three years and

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm about ten grand in the hold already in more

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: to pay it to get myself and my family citizenship

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: in Australia. I think it done.

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: It just does.

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: Thankful number of vote. It could make a difference, and

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: you know it could make an impact.

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: Ye, I mean if it's one of years. I'm from

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: the Deling myself and I've never voted, but i'd liked you.

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: There you go. Oh, I stand corrected. People were saying

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: those on the comments. I wasn't aware of how hard

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: or is it was to get citizenship here. If anything,

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: we got a great cavalcade of Kiwi accents on the radio.

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: I love it.
