Oz is better

Written by  Milking It
Oz is better

OPINION: News that the Labour Government is spending taxpayer money to advertise to New Zealanders living in Australia that life is better there now they can get citizenship is appalling.

At a time when NZ companies are struggling to get staff and people are moving in droves to Australia, our Government should be trying to persuade NZers across the ditch to come home.

ACT is right when it points out that Australia, in changing its citizenship rules, is conducting a raid on NZ's best and brightest.

The wage gap between Australia and New Zealand has been growing.

The last thing we need is the New Zealand Government telling New Zealanders that they're better off staying in Oz. Instead, it should be fighting to win the war for talent - like Australia is.
