Aussie citizens can live and work in NZ indefinitely without any visa requirement etc.as well as utilise the Public Health System (no Medicare in NZ altho’ prescriptions are subsidised). They can’t get any benefits (such as dole) unless they apply for and receive permanent residence, and then there is a waiting period.
Income tax in NZ is lower, maximum 39%, no compulsory super, no CGT. GST is 12.5%. Wages are generally lower (even factoring in exchange rate) but so is overall cost of living. Weather is definitely worse, unless you’re from Tassie!

]hi there,
yep brianc is right.re: weather, well it’s all relative, wellington for example is similar to melbourne without the extremes of heat (maybe up to 35 not 45) and plus a whole lot of wind (which makes the air very crystal clear)
north of auckland up to the top is like cooler version of queensland, still very mild though
auckland is like cooler version of Sydney complete with similar humidity
nelson, blenheim, motueka are sunny microclimates considering that they’re further south
christchurch and south of there is getting more like england and scotland in climate
chilly, rugged, pristine
