It's 60 years to the day [1 January 1949] since New Zealanders became New Zealand citizens in their own right. 

On this day in 1949 the British Nationality and New Zealand Citizenship Act 1948 came into force and most people living in New Zealand on that day became New Zealand citizens.  Prior to this they were solely British subjects. 

It also meant that children born in New Zealand from 1 January 1949 automatically became New Zealand citizens.
