How does NZ resident VISA holder different from NZ citizen?

A question often asked, following on from this, is about being entitled to use the NZ Health Service. A resident, or anyone with a work visa (or series of work visas) running for 24 months or more, can use the Health Service on the same terms as a NZ citizen.
The most important difference in my opinion:
- NZ residents are entitled to work for any employer in New Zealand only.
- NZ citizen can go to Australia, stay and work indefinitely.
