    1. Yeah, austerity in public sector , poor job market, and inflation paired with a strong passport is going to do that.

      Net migration is still positive as there are more non-citizens moving to NZ to make up for the citizens leaving. 

      Population increasing so still pressure on housing, etc etc

      Wow, it’s almost like putting a right-wing businessman in charge of your country isn’t a great move.

    5. Look at those conservatives doing and excellent job of ruining the joint.
      Bit of a world wide pattern of conservative fucktards going on at the moment.

    6. Weird. I keep getting ads recruiting nurses to come to New Zealand. Perhaps I should reconsider?

      What countries are New Zealanders mostly fleeing to? If anyone knows that is.

      Welcome back to Australia!

      Kidding aside, hope our mate across the ditch will have a booming economy soon!

    9. I was in NZ 20 years ago as a back packer and all the young locals were complaining how tourism and movies like Lord of the Rings has priced them out. I can’t imagine how much worse it is now.

      I guess its a sign of how other places like London that are expensive as they are could continue to get even more expensive dragging up the prices of everywhere else in the country with it

      When you can’t house everyone in a suburb with mountainous terrain near big cities so housing costs go off the roof from anything outside single family homes being difficult to build for decades.

      New Zealand would have had a much better economy if it had developed its cities to not be endless suburban sprawl for decades and forcing hundreds of thousand of people to go into debt because cars were made a necessity by the sprawl. Imagine how much more money might be spent in the economy if hundreads of thpusands of people could use the money spent on foreign cars instead on say local restaurants, stores amenities and the likes that would instead of transfering tons of debt fueled money on multinational car companies and banks, instead on local businesses that employ much more people than car dealerships

      NZ drank the neoliberal koolaid way more than Australia did, and the conservatives are just pushing it into overdrive.

      Average news site when they can’t report on anything meaningful: Just make another „Population Decline“ headline and rotate the countries so it doesn’t look too obvious.

      Seriously, there is a post like this every two days. We know people have less children. We don’t need to hear it every time just because news don’t have anything else to report.

      How much of this exodus is Pacific Islanders heading ‚home‘ due to no work and high costs in NZ?

    14. Brain drain has been happening in NZ for decades,  this is far from the worst year. Why don’t  you do an analysis of percentage of population.  In 2000 70000 people left and there were only 3.8 mil population,  all under Helen. She hiked upper tax rates on paye. If you want to keep your high earners – don’t raise top tax rates, attract them my lowering it. 2021 saw it go up again…  if you’re getting taxed at high rates,  why not earn dollars worth more? 

    15. Any kiwi with ambition or self-respect is in Australia. It’s simple; why stay in a country try that doesn’t value your labour and costs an extortionate amount to live in, when there’s a country you can live in without visa issues that’s *right there* and pays almost double in some instances.

      NZ made this bed, by voting national in. I don’t sympathise. I hope the overpriced housing owners feel good.

      It’s okay, the billionaires in their bunkers will provide plenty of well-paying shock collar jobs
