Abstract
Australia and New Zealand
[1] are both classical countries of immigration, formed by indigenous peoples, transformed by British settler
colonization, and systemically dependent on immigration for economic and demographic growth.
[2] These South Pacific neighbours
share one of the most open bilateral borders in the world. Both have re-orientated towards the Asia-Pacific region since the 1970s,
overturning racist colonial migration policies in favour of economic entry criteria, and attracting growing numbers of temporary migrants
in addition to a more diverse range of permanent settlers
