I imagine he has spend more time than you or me looking at the hard statistics rather than peoples personal experience.
He was just pointing out that there is more to the story that NZ is losing all its workers to Australia. Yes we are loosing in some aspects and gaining in others.

1242644 2011-11-13 01:54:00 Then the idiot needs to get out there and get some experience rather then looking at his statistics.

There is a huge hole in our workforce,and a massive loss in skill.

From figures I’ve read 84,000 Kiwis bailed out last year with 48,000 going to Aus.

However, they were replaced by mainly Asians, so the countries population has hardly changed.

Now, for me anyway, communication has become a major problem if I wish to speak to a Doctor in a hospital, a Taxi Driver, the Proprietor of the Corner Dairy, or any help line.

It’s much easier to cross the Tasman and start and finish every sentence with “Mate”. ;)

Mind you when I was there in the 60's I thought I was in Greece or Italy
