A recent poll has found 40 per cent of New Zealanders are open to the idea of becoming a state of Australia.
Out of the 1000 people surveyed, 41 per cent said the prospect of New Zealand becoming Australia's seventh state was "an idea worth debating".
Respondents believed a merger would improve ease of travel to Australia, as well as our defence status.
Former Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon has also lent his support to the cause.
