There are more non professional people leaving for Oz as it has always been. The untrained, unqualified have way more lucrative job opportunities in Australia then here. Nothing has changed. If Australia has a general wage difference of +25% and you are on the bones of your arse here, why wouldn't you go? As approx 600k have.
Why New Zealanders are migrating to Australia in record numbers
The government may not be able to reverse the trend, which one Kiwi describes as abandoning “a sinking boat”.www.smh.com.au
Here’s a reasonable explanation. NZ just can’t compete with what Australia can offer in wages and a way of life that’s a draw for some. Many often return later in life but unfortunately we’ve missed what they contribute to our economy in their working careers

We're probably not really like this irl, hope not anyway
Was just wondering how it would pan out if the 16 year old disagreed that the world was a Neo Liberal fuck up
Not too sure about that. Based on history on here I would think Frank's dinner table may be far more interesting and global than old mate. You guys might not see it but I think Frank is actually quite left of centre. We can't escape our upbringing as much as the pollies tell us different.
As opposed to the kid afraid of his redneck father?
Says it all
I dunno about that - only one of the posters calls people retards & whole out look on life was shaped by David Goggins.
And you're worried about maybetop8's hypothetical children.
Bit weird.
My 16 year old thinks I'm conservative...
You mean you are masquerading after all?
So you're a Neo Boomer ?
My utopia has subsidised housing, free education, medical, energy and finance for its citizens.
And that is?
No just a father grappling with a world with complicated pronouns
I'm with you except it's grandchildren. The only pronoun I use with them now is "I"
Trying to get them to read Descartes or Sartre is a mission
Are they existentialist boys or female solipsists, or don't they know yet
Thomas Sowell is also a good read for some common sense
Plus I think Healey needs to be on the bench for the Raiders
IMO, retarded grifters but then I'm an old boomer that shouts at clouds a lot. TBF, I do have a grand daughter who is into that stuff and in amongst the whisky fumes we can have an intelligent debate.
Sort of like, does JFH deserve a week off and does Kasey Badger use the men's dunnies.
Man I hated Sowell so hard when I was on the left…
He'd probably say either should play right centre
I think he was a disillusioned Marxist in his younger days too wasn't he, just like you
