Immigration into New Zealand can also be difficult, but is known internationally to be more lenient than Australia. So a lot of people get NZ citizenship and then move to Australia.
My wife and I dealt with immigration in the UK (for a skilled migrants' visa), and they were terribly awkward to work with too. However, one of my regrets in life was not staying long enough to get British citizenship. There's nothing quite like an EU passport!
A New Zealand passport goes a long way (further than an Aussie one), but an EU passport is IMHO the 'holy grail'. Live and work without visas anywhere in the European Union...mmm...
