Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has committed to reviewing the rights of New Zealanders living in that country, including the path to citizenship.
Albanese and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern are holding a news conference in Sydney following leadership talks.
Albanese said they'll work towards having some progress by Anzac Day next year.
He said the work will include considering whether New Zealanders in Australia, who've made a life there, could have voting rights restored.
But he said the 501s policy will remain in place and people will continue to be deported, although a 'common sense' approach will be taken, such as in the case of someone who has lived their whole life, or effectively their whole life in Australia, and who had with no links to New Zealand.
More to come...
