Article From North And South August 2004

" Go to Oz flight of the Kiwi" is an article about how over 480 New Zealanders are leaving their country to go to Australia. The reason that they are leaving is for better lives and better jobs. The reasons that Australia is so attractive to Kiwis is that with there passports they do not need to go though the normal immigration that other people would have to go though. They can work and live in Australia for as long as the like with their passports. If they like it the can apply for citizenship with out having a visa first.

This is starting to cause some concerns because of the threat of terriosm is becoming so high. Many officials are worried that with this open door policy that Australia has with New Zealand that terrorist will get a New Zealand passport and come in to do harm. New Zealand has a very easy passport requirement. Australian government is looking for oppiontions to fix this. They think that there will have to be some changes and more background check of New Zealand passports.

I thought that this was an interesting article because I did not the know that there was so many people leaving New Zealand. I thought that this was a country that was a parasites. In fact I was thinking of spending time there. Well the article did not change my mind it just makes me wonder what is so bad in New Zealand that so many people would leave every week. Is this a country that the population will start to delcline if this keeps up?
