No problem. We can just import more uber and courier drivers from India🙄

The fourth Labour Government led by Lange and Douglas sold e.g. Post Bank and Air New Zealand; the fourth National Government led by Bolger and Shipley sold e.g. New Zealand Rail, Contact Energy and Bank of New Zealand; a National Government led by Key sold e.g. Mighty River Power, Meridian Energy, and Genesis Energy. Now we end up with a Welfare State that can no longer afford welfare.

Many reasons are behind the constant flow of citizens leaving to live overseas...one that is not discussed much is the blatant racism that exists and is increasing every year.....this is becoming so prevalent that it makes the non Maori population feel that the gloom of apartheid is flowing through out the land....

Watching people run to that country thinking it’s this amazing place then come back in less then a year telling everyone how they where robbed, taken for a ride with promises from shady employers and then have to give up 3/4 of their wage just to rent a room on the bad side of town and try and live on what they have left. Most can only eat chicken and  rice for meals since it’s all they can afford.
So sad so many fall into the trap of that place.

30% on rent is low. More like 40 to 50% for those earning the below average income most of our jobs pay. Very small pool of high skilled well paying jobs here.

Anyway: everyone who wants to work and progressively advance can and will succeed in New Zealand. The attitude of 'I want everything now' (the house, the boat and the BMW) has to stop. The envy and jealousy towards boomers is disgraceful. They bought their house in the 90s when it was $230k with a 22% interest on mortgage loan repayments. Two generations before them bought a house for $30K. It didn't make the boomer generation envious. They worked hard, paid off their home, saved for a car and saved for retirement and then took extensive holidays. What we see today, is a generation that wants a Porsche now,  4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, triple garage complete with a deck and swimming pool. Now. If I can't get it, it's the boomers fault, the government fault, everybody's fault except mine.
I bloody came here with $5k to my name, sat my registration exams and worked day and night, when people at my age spent 3 days a week in the pubs outside my building in the city. Within 3 years I bought my home, paid it off within seven years, bought a Porsche, travelled whenever I wanted, employed people and created more jobs. Everything is expensive...... Yes it is also expensive in France, in Italy or in Israel too.
Roll your sleeves up and get to work. That way, just like me you will retire with money that you don't know what to do with and even if you eat from both your mouth and your arse, you will still have money left over to to do whatever you want in NZ. God Bless New Zealand!

The governments are corrupt. And the economy sucks! As a person born and living in New Zealand, this country has fallen... Fallen bad

Rent subsidy is killing the locals. Overseas buyers can buy a house, put it up for rent the government guarantees' rents so you can just keep upping the rent every year. People are getting 17-25% return on investment. The government was even running ads in China touting these numbers. This pushes the locals out of the housing market

Rogernomics was the great robbery of NZ's public assets by private companies.

I left NZ 20 years ago. First to Australia, now living in Finland. There's no way I'm going back home to live given the state of the country.

“Outstanding video! It’s both educational and entertaining — you’ve done a fantastic job.”

I moved to Melbourne for 7 years, moved back to Hamilton and love it. I would never move to another country again.

New Zealand is a retirement state, there is very little reason for young people to stay here unless they absolutely love the outdoors. Raising a family here is particularly rough, everything is so expensive.

Every day I watch programs about people leaving Australia, Canada and the UK?

NZ is a beautiful country geographically speaking. But we have a lot of  issues concerning the treaty of Waitangi. I live in Ireland these days, but I certainly miss many things about NZ. The outdoors, our beaches, etc etc. The NZ dollar isn’t doing so well either. When I moved to Ireland 12 years ago the Euro was worth NZ $1.60, now €1 will get you $2 in NZ. But I still love and miss you NZ!

Fonterra has received substantial govt funding now they selling to a French Co! FRANCE 🇫🇷  is BROKE!

Also describing the situation in Australia.

"Living in New Zealand used to sound dreamy… now this video makes it feel totally unreal! 😬🇳🇿"

Both my 20 something lads have returned to the motherland recently after a couple of years in ozzy and they are sooo happy to be back 🎉

NZ used to be great. Now it's turned to shit. Also, it's not as safe as you think. Crime is out of control, it's just not talked about.
