Paul Spoonley: Massey University Sociologist on the evidence showing the number of Kiwis moving to Australia is falling

There’s more evidence the mass exodus to Australia appears to be turning a corner.  Latest Stats NZ figures show net migration from New Zealand to Australia last year was down 8.4% compared to the year before.  Newstalk ZB analysis of official Australian data has revealed a similar trend.  Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking there's a feeling the tide is turning, which can in turn prompt more people not to go.  He says the perception, feeling, and media coverage all play into whether people choose to move to Australia.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
