In 2023, the Australian government announced a direct pathway to citizenship for New Zealander citizens who live in Australia for four years.

I think that’s a pretty big incentive to move from New Zealand to Australia.

There has been free movement back and forward since 1973. Citizenship hardly matters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Tasman_Travel_Arrangemen...

That's really hardly an incentive at all. We Kiwis have always been granted a special category visa which gives us permanent residency in Australia. Unless you want to vote, commit crimes without being deported or milk the welfare system there's little benefit to citizenship.
