OK

Here's for your history lesson.

First of all most come in via NZ.

They get NZ passports and with that they dont need visa's or anything ... come straight in.

Secondly, how many maori's or islanders are on the NZ south island? Not many, they dont like cold.

Thirdly, cheap flights from NZ to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane ... where was it more like their preferred climate and cheaper to live? Brisbane.

We have a lot of them here, they have large families and just like all the other migrants that came to Australia they hang out together, so many move here and then tell their mates, families etc to do the same.

These are not Maori's, different, they speak Fijian or something that Maori's dont understand.

Many people oppose the visa free status of NZ visitors because of this, they are as foreign as the British (who founded the place) yet the British go through the wringer to get in here.

I did a job for a guy who lived opposite a house load of them ... also he was a council parks worker and no way did he want them near his house to do tree work.

Another job I did not long ago. Guy gets 3 quotes he told me.

I was $1100

Other Quote $1050

Islanders verbal quote only must pay cash $700

But he got me as I had website and written quote, insurances etc, money wasn't his prime motivator and he could pay me with a cheque and get a receipt.
