| 588185 | 2007-09-05 06:18:00 | Why do you think I moved to Australia 2 years ago - definitely no regrets. When I was a kiwi living in the UK, I used to comment that the English only put up with their lot because they did not know any better, and that many of the things that the average kiwi took for granted, were the preserves of the wealthy, example deer stalking - free in NZ, about UK pds 5000, and the carcase was not yours to keep - Golf out of this world - Club non refundable joining fee - more than a months gross pay for an RAF aircrew Flight Lieutenant (ie over UK Pds 300 in the early 1970s), and we were getting nearly twice the average industrial salary. And this was just to apply to join, the annual sub was about the same again. Don't ask about trout or salmon fishing, too expensive to contemplate, and as one Kiwi friend who was an RAF Wing Commander said to me, I am going broke buying a house that given the choice I wouldn't live it. It all seems to have changed taking these rankings into account - I am not surprised taking the long history of poor governance that New Zealand has suffered over the last 30 years. |

So given the above dribble, NZ is well rid of you. I welcome Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Pacific Island people in your place. |

| 588187 | 2007-09-05 12:07:00 | Greg If you don't like the message shoot at the messenger - NZ has been steadily declining for the last 25 years, travel a bit, and if you can view any other place than NZ with an open mind, you might just come to the conclusion that NZ is no longer the great place that it once was. Why do so many qualified kiwis leave with one way tickets. | KenESmith (6287) | ||

Why do so many qualified kiwis leave with one way tickets.Hey [edit] - I've lived in three countries and visited about twenty others. NZ is the place to be. Don't give us your "open mind" crappola - simply count the numbers of return Kiwis and the number of foreigners who want to not only invest here but also to live here permanently. |
