I have a euro driving license as well as a Kiwi one, but have not paid taxes in uk in over ten years. I think I am right in saying that even if one has residency in NZ, it doesn't always follow that taxes are being paid in NZ.
There would be plenty of kiwi passport holders out there who haven't paid taxes in nz for years. Would they still qualify to go into the ballot as per "resident" ?
Nah., too hard to police it in my humble opinion.
I am sure there is a fairer way around the issue (I don't know what it is though), without having to get politicians and govt depts. involved too much.
