Nationality
editI don't wish to be a chauvinistic Australian, but I suspect that this woman who lived her late teenage-years and the larger part of her adult life in Melbourne, probably voted in the elections of the new federation of Australia and in the state of Victoria. She was possibly eligible to vote in both New Zealand and Australia. Does it mean anything to say her nationality was New Zealand, if she lived her life and participated as a citizen in Australia? (After all our recent kerfuffles in the High Court of Australia, nationality is no longer as obvious as place of birth or even where one votes....) MargaretRDonald (talk) 14:43, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
