    Surprise over the number of Kiwis moving abroad

    Surprise over the number of Kiwis moving abroad


    Stats NZ says New Zealand saw a net migration loss of 52-thousand five hundred citizens - in the year ending March.

    It's the first time the number's surpassed 50-thousand - the previous high was about 44-thousand back in 2012.

    Massey University Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley says it's probably the price of things here, that's driving them away.

    He says we're six months into a new Government, which he thought might've encouraged people to stay.

    Spoonley says 78-thousand New Zealanders leaving, is extraordinary.
