New Zealand citizens are lobbying federal politicians to change laws banning them from serving in the Australian Defence Force.

FairGo4All founder Duncan Sandilands says Kiwis who have spent most of their lives living and working in Australia can't defend the country they call home because of changes to legislation which made it more difficult for NZ immigrants to Australia after 2001 to become citizens.

"We're ANZACs, we're meant to be embracing each other, not putting up barriers," Mr Sandilands said on Tuesday.
