Ah, I doubt I could afford him :-(
People pay between NZ$30-$40 thousand dollars to buy kiwi citizenship these days, I'd hate to think how much Aussie citizenship would cost ;-)There was a documentary on this the other night.
$30,000 for a kiwi (nativeborn) marrige partner
$40,000 for a chinese/kiwi marrige partner.
Why more for the latter? Because it is less likely to be queried...They said it wasn't all that hard to pull off...
