netchicken is on a distinguished road
Default Curious: peoples' reasons for leaving/picking NZ?
Well without wanting to advertise aussie...
The climate on the Gold Coast / queenland is awesome, lowest temp in winter is 13 Degrees.
Warm seas, OK landscape,
Higher paying jobs,
Outdoor living,
Some leave to get away from the Maori /Pakeha fights (our class system)
More interesting cities
lack of strong family ties...

its nearly all there

[quote:1a738689b3="Coxy"]Sorry netchicken, but I can't quite belive that Kiwis leave NZ for those 7 reasons too!

Weather??? Why would someone not like the weather (unless they live in Greymouth I suppose). And Traffic??? I drove from Christchurch to Wanaka once and saw about 5 other cars! (although in Napier, I do remember a traffic jam of 7 cars which lasted for about ten mintues made the front page of the paper)

I thought Kiwis just went to Oz because of jobs/money(?).
And I think it's a very particular type of Kiwi that prefers Oz to NZ culturally (and IMO NZ is probably better off without them)[/quote:1a738689b3]
