Australia is only part of New Zealand’s ongoing battle to improve its ‘net migration’ stats, which are having a crippling impact on the country’s labour market. Net migration loss to Australia has more than doubled in recent years. Migrant arrivals have increased by over a quarter this year, but remain well below pre-Covid levels.
