  1.  @thisispetria  Unless you've been living under a rock, you do know that the USD is the world reserve currency and its going down negatively affects all global markets that aren't part of BRICS(+). So yeah, it matters!

  2. The real question is why would anyone from NZ want to become an Australian citizen. Legally they have zero need to and have full rights thanks to the Trans-Tasman Agreement. This seems like a faster way for the govt to catch them in the AU tax net. The newer AU tax rules coming in soon will change the "are you tax resident" from the current 5 tests down to 3 (one of which is are you a citizen).

  3. Good luck having the country you're in recognising the sovereignty of your country - they never will. Also, know that when you try to stop paying taxes they'll throw you in jail and seize your property. There's a reason none of us have made our own countries - there isn't any unclaimed land on this planet at the moment - maybe one day a new island will form in the middle of the ocean but until then what you're saying is nothing but a joke as far as the law is concerned.

  4. Literally not a real passport. Its no more official than if you printed your own passport. Some countries consider it to be a "fantasy passport" and some will outright jail you if you try to use it.
