As a New Zealand citizen, when is the cut-off date for living in Australia?

My family and I are planning to make the big move over to Australia (Brisbane) and i just wanted to know when the dead line is before the Australian government stops Kiwis moving over?

As for as the information I know, you will always be able to live, work and buy a house in Australia. But you have to be aware that you are only a "resident" NOT a "permanant resident". To be a Permanant resident you have to fit one of 7 catagories. (These catagories arent easy) and you also must be under the age of 45. After 45 you can not become a permant resident which then mean you will never become a Australia citizen. Just remember until you are a "permant resident" you dont qualify for much. Eg:-Unemployment benifit, etc, so you are on your own. Also if you buy a house and then sell it you will be taxed really high. You could loose roughly 1/3 of your profit to tax.
