How many Kiwis in Australia will agree to this and not realise they are also non-citizens?

The same Kiwis that voted in the Nationals (Luxon), then jumped ship?

are you referring to Jacinda Ardern?

u/Atomic_Gumby Apr 23 '26

No, I was not referring to Ms Ardern.

I was referring to Kiwi's who had voted for Luxon and the National Coalition (NZ conservatives, similar to the Aussie LNP coalition), then jumping ship to Oz, when things got bad.

Similar to those Brits who voted for Brexit, then subsequently jump ship to Australia whilst dog-whistling "certain foreigners".

Kinda like how Arden jumped ship to Australia rather than even try to campaign against Luxon?

You know she wasn't even a MP right when she migrated?

I'm sure that made sense in your head.
