NZ versus Aus
Hi,
We are the Bryar family and until recently were looking at emigrating to NZ. But it seems the more we have looked into it and read on the forum the more a daunting prospect it has seemed ie the lower wages and higher cost of living. We are now looking at Aus and would like anybodys input of why we should choose it before NZ.

The sheep sleep easier at night in Oz
In all seriousness if you can get around to look at both places it would be helpful in making an informed choice. We considered NZ however work prospects and earnings stopped us even going for a reckie. Oz has similar opportunities in many fields with comparative salaries to the UK this to me makes it more attractive than NZ.

Re: NZ versus Aus
How many Australians move to NZ as new residents ? 4 in 2008-09
v
How many New Zealanders move to Australia as new residents? 25,000 in 2008-09
That figure of '4' is from the NZ stats. It also shows that 9,000 British moved to NZ in that year, compared to the 21,000 British that moved to Australia.
Many Australians go to NZ on holiday though... 835,000 in 2008-09

New Zealand = 3rd world country
One of the biggest advantages of not living in NZ is that your kids won't grow up with that wanker Kiwi accent.

Re: NZ versus Aus
If your highly skilled professional then Living in New Zealand is actually far more comfortable. If your just filling a skill shortage in this country well New Zealand can be unaffordable but having said that unless you earning big bucks here as well you'll struggle.

Re: NZ versus Aus
Maybe ask why so many NZ's immigrate to OZ and not many Aussies immigrate to NZ. If NZ was a better place to live it would be the reverse.

Re: NZ versus Aus
There are many factors, New Zealand is very small in population, only 3 million...smaller than London! remote and very quiet therefore obviously job opportunities are less... However its stunning, and the people are far friendlier in my opinion..
