if its gonna be the billionaire climate refuge, it can’t be infested with poors now can it?
But who’s going to work for those billionaires? You know it is all cool and dandy to be super rich as long as there are poorer people willing to do your chores and service you for crumbs.
oh i’m sure they are keeping some of them for that
During COVID, I remember being envious of NZ’s government. Now I’m vaguely aware they were feeling left out and decided to elect their own Trump/La Pen/AfD/Sunak-style train wreck government.
Left NZ to work in the UK healthcare system? Oh my poor child…
Uhg, this is tough to hear. Was considering migrating to New Zealand.
I left NZ a few years ago and one of my main reasons were the lower incomes and high cost of housing. It all came down to the fact that I couldn’t even afford to rent a flat by my self, whereas right across the Tasman I could earn twice the salary and have a comparable if not lower cost of living.
Eventually I’ve ended up in Europe and I’m earning almost 4 times of what I was earning back home. I’ve considered coming back, bit the prospect of maybe never being able to own a home keeps me away.
You’ve got to pay the premiums because all the wealthy dipshits need to build the bunkers when this POS they’ve created collapses 😊
That is the exact reason I’m leaving the US… Can’t afford these damned $1500/month rent prices after insane medical expenses.
Guess I’m back to the drawingboard on where to go though, haha.
*Immigrate sounds weird does it not?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Now, record numbers of people are leaving the country as cost-of-living pressures increase and residents grapple with limited job opportunities.
Provisional figures from Statistics NZ show a net loss of 56,500 citizens in the year to April – up 12,000 from the previous record.
The prospect of European adventures and a larger city beckoned, and the 29-year-old settled in east London last year, and found a job in healthcare.
As New Zealand inches out a recent recession, many citizens have a perception that the cost of living is lower and salaries higher in Australia, says Keirnan, which might lead to more permanent shifts.
In January, Vieregg moved to Newcastle – a couple of hours’ north of Sydney – where she found a job with a mining company that paid much better than anything she had seen at home.
Partridge does not expect to return to New Zealand unless she decides to have children, while Scott will also head back when he’s ready to start a family.

It’s funny how people weigh workplaces and companies that suck balls because the money is good… but also understandable that they go somewhere else when they can get a good pay and a workplace that doesn’t suck balls.
