If you are travelling to New Zealand under the Visa Waiver Scheme, you must hold an onward ticket. If you want to go on a one-way ticket, you must apply for a Visitor's Visa, which is a different thing, and requires proof of funds for an outward ticket.
This is from Immigration New Zealand's website:
Can I enter NZ on a one-way ticket?
Visitors entering NZ without a visa (Visa Waiver countries only), must have valid onward travel arrangements (ie. return ticket or official confirmation that a ticket is booked and paid for) when entering New Zealand. The return ticket must also be from NZ to a country they can enter.
Please note that having funds to purchase a ticket is not sufficient evidence of onward travel arrangements for Visa Waiver visitors.
If you are applying for a visa prior to your travel, you may enter New Zealand on a one way ticket, provided that the visa in your passport clearly states ‘Return/onward ticket not required’.
In all other cases an outward travel arrangement must have been made prior to arriving in New Zealand (visitors must have a return ticket, while workers and students may show available funds to purchase a ticket).
This is from Air New Zealand's website:
People travelling to New Zealand on a one-way ticket must be either:
a permanent resident of Australia holding a valid Australian Resident Return Visa allowing an indefinite stay
other foreign national holding a valid New Zealand Returning Resident's Visa
All other visitors to New Zealand must possess a return or onward ticket to a country to which you have right of entry.
If you are a visitor to New Zealand making an international side trip (returning back to New Zealand before continuing your journey), please remember to take your onward ticket with you on the side trip. You will need to present this when checking in for your return flight to New Zealand.
The US kicks out illegals that are caught. And in many cases separates families (US born kids aren't deported but their parents are).
So the US is a harsh country for immigration (as well).
Oh, come on. The US has 20,000,000 illegals in this country and we rarely deport anyone. If you make it in, you don't have too much to worry about. The stories of families being separated are highly inflated and are more for propoganda, sobstory, purposes. I'll bet Australia doesn't have illegals demanding the same rights as American born citizens or collapsing some hospitals from overuse and non payment. (Remember, in the US, you can't deny aid to anyone.....) We have illegals who are permantly confined to hospitals and are costing the taxpayers millions. One illegal has been living in a hospital for over a year and the home country doesn't want them back (Chicago, I think).
Obama has by executive order, refused to deport anyone except the most hardened criminals and Mexico doesn't want them back either.

Over 400,000 people were deported last year from the US, less than half had criminal records. As for denying aid in hospitals, that comes from the oath all doctors take to care for anyone in need. I'm pretty sure you'd find hospitals in Australia or most countries for that matter accepting someone for urgent care first before figuring out their status as well.
How ironic you call stories of deportation inflated and then tell a story about one person when you dont know where they are at and its highly unlikely you know anything of their health circumstances. If you dont like propaganda, why dont you stop spreading it yourself?
What puzzles me about illegal immigration in Australia, is how do they get there..is it a case of people who were granted entry and didn't leave....do they come by canoe?
Here in the US we have a huge land border with Mexico so hence easier for Mexicans and others from Central America to sneak in.
Cuba is only 90 miles away from Key West so boats are an option and of course we have the ones who gained entry legally they just never left to go home.
