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.

Yes, but to gain a firearms licence you must have had to prove that you physically resided here within the previous 10 years, which is better than nothing.
I was referring to a Kiwi drivers licence before for the same reason.
In your case, you might also need to provide current telephone and power accounts.
