Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is seeking Australian citizenship - but only so he can live in New Zealand, according to a United States news station.
Yesterday, Mr Wozniak said he and his wife, Janet Hill, simply "love New Zealand" and confirmed that he had applied to become an Australian citizen, NBC reported.
Mr Wozniak came to New Zealand in May for his Woz Live tour and during an interview with the Herald, he said: "I've been over to New Zealand many, many times, much more than Australia.
"It was a long time ago I was selected to be patron of the Wellington Apple Users Group and I would fly over around Christmas time and give speeches and meet the people. I saw the South Island and the tourist stuff in the North Island."
Mr Wozniak said he still intended to retain his United States citizenship, meaning he would have to pay more in taxes.
