This last thread which started with a very interesting question about how many immigrants actually leave NZ again has totally veered off course, like so many threads that get taken over by these mudslingers. A pity, really.

I would, however, like to make the point that the article Muppet brought everyones attention to is actually more than 2 years old and the result of the national debate regarding the 'brain drain' that was occuring at that time. This figure is from memory, so it could be wrong, but I think the net loss to Oz is around 6000 YTD Dec 2002. Also, judging by the number of Ockers applying for jobs at our place, net loss could soon well be a net gain....if gain is the right word.
