Duke,
Those are all excellent questions. I've yet to hear anyone answer them satisfactorily. Despite the fact that surveys of Kiwis in Oz say that they went across the ditch for 'lifestyle' reasons, all anyone wants to acknowledge are the economic reasons. Ask and people will tell you, 'They go for more money.' The politicians, too, are singing this tune. However, it isn't true ... at least not from what the surveys of the leavers themselves say.
