Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia's One Nation party, has proposed sweeping new restrictions on migration from New Zealand to Australia, despite voicing praise for New Zealanders themselves. The move reflects ongoing debate in Australia over immigration policy and the long-standing special arrangements that allow New Zealand citizens relatively easy entry and residence rights under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, making any tightening politically and diplomatically significant.

The proposal would introduce tighter controls on the flow of New Zealanders into Australia, a group that has historically enjoyed a distinct migration pathway compared with other nationalities. Hanson has framed the plan as compatible with a favourable view of Kiwi migrants generally, suggesting her focus is on the scale and management of migration numbers rather than on New Zealanders' character or contribution, though full details of the specific limits proposed were not extensively outlined.
