Chris Hipkins and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will explore ways to simplify travel across the ditch.
The two leaders met in Wellington today, and they agreed to put together a joint expert group to make the journey across the Tasman more seamless.
Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen says his concern is that New Zealand isn't taking their connection with Australia seriously and trans-Tasman travel needs to be improved.
"We should aspire, at some point, to have a dual trans-Tasman visa. If you're coming for FIFA, for example, you don't have to flap around with two different bits of paperwork."
