Wow.

The NZ Economy is now SOOOOOOOO bad , thanks to the self mutilation this Government generated with their 2024 demolition of the infrastructure pipeline, that now EVN THE MIGRANTS are fleeing…

Migration: Kiwis still leaving New Zealand in record numbers

  • New Zealand’s annual net migration rate fell to 10,600 for the year to August 2025.
  • There was a record net migration loss of 47,900 New Zealand citizens in August 2025.
  • Overall migrant arrivals dropped 16% to 138,600, while departures increased 13% to 127,900.

…tell me again why this hard right Government with their ideological driven economic mutilations is better than Labour, Greens + Māori Party?

  1. Imagine the unemployment level had the 100k who have left did not do so .Time to stop the RSE intake of exploited people from the Pacific and give kiwis first Crack at the jobs and places to stay .However they may object to the shit pay and living 10 to a room for 200 a week rent

  3. Yes, well you will remember that I wrote about the danger of empty paddocks, deserted rural towns, and cities running on empty. But don’t worry. This is merely a strategic play in a cunning game. She’ll all be right once our AO/NZ belongs to someone else. I’m thinking the isrealis.
    I’ve explained, to my enduring boredom, what’s going on. Our dirty politicians and their lobbyist besties with their soft pink little fingering fingers down the aforementioned politicians panties are playing us. They’re deliberately throwing our AO/NZ under a muddy sheep truck being pushed over a cliff. Mainly to protect, or rather to hide, our criminal underclass from close inspection, as I’ve also written about here but that must have been lost between pointless hysteria and worthless debate about fuck all in reality.
    I think cold logic and common sense would suggest there’s never going to be a shortage of demands for food or wool or anything else that represents warmth and sustenance that can be sold then shipped to seasonally wintery markets so why are we fucked then?
    That’s the question isn’t it? Who fucked us and for why? If you must seriously ask yourself that question after all this time then you must always wear a condom and make sure you have DNA tests before you try to mate with anything.
    Farmers? Yes, you’s. This is what you must do and trust me, if you don’t, you will fucking regret it.
    You must ignore the natzo’s. They’re NOT your besties.
    You must side with Maori and their treaty then stand together. I know what you’re thinking so stop it. Thinking the same think while expecting a different penny to drop isn’t a good idea.
    Once farmers and Maori get their shit together then you have power. Real power.
    Then, and only then, can you make your demands. No asking. Fuck that. Just make demands. Demand answers and then when they start to come in, start acting. You must act. Not like david mouse-face seymour ACT but as in act, as in action.
    For example. Where’s our fucking money? How, is Auckland? Why, are Maori and Farmers fucked in a general sort of way? How is it that the australians now own our three major banks asb, anz and bnz and what the fuck was westpac doing here scuffling away in the pantry? How, is anz, asb, bnz and westpac the second most profitable banksters in the world, second only to Canada. How is it that anz, asb, bnz and westpac take $580,000 dollars net an hour 24/7/365 from us and no one seems to notice? What kinds of mind numbing control mechanisms are we being bedevilled by? ( Personally, I know. It’s the neoliberal parasite that lives and breathes inside national, labour, act, nz first the maori party, the green party and you and you and you etc. ) Open your mind and come to know your enemy.

    A short anatomy of neoliberalism that shatters its founding myths and points the way to an alternative system
    This book is dynamite’ – Caroline Lucas | ‘Fantastic’ – Mark Ruffalo
    We live under an ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives: our education and our jobs; our healthcare and our leisure; our relationships and our mental wellbeing; the planet we inhabit – the very air we breathe. So pervasive has it become that, for most people, it has no name. It seems unavoidable, like a natural law.
    But trace it back to its roots, and we discover that it is neither inevitable nor immutable. It was conceived, propagated, and then concealed by the powerful few. Our task is to bring it into the light—and to build a new system that is worth fighting for.
    Neoliberalism. Do you know what it is?

  4. It’s not a problem if our migrants flee for a better life overseas? We should never ever have brought so many into our country to take the jobs of our Kiwis! Yes we all know it’s the lazy way to boost the economy. And remember these are the voters that lacklustre Luxon is courting. He has totally lost the plot, he’s almost as insane as the dreadful Trump. May they both get their “just deserts” – the sooner the better!

  5. Do migrant arrivals and departures include those here on holiday?
    I’m not doubting that folks are leaving, but wouldn’t want the figures to get skewed by those on holiday to these shores.

  6. …tell me again why this hard right Government with their ideological driven economic mutilations is better than Labour, Greens + Māori Party?

    Sorry Martyn, when I ran that question through Grok, the whole system malfunctioned.

  9. I’m stoked that immigration rates are dropping.

    That helps take pressure off our housing/rental market and our creaking infrastructure and public services.

    Rapid increases in immigration only ever served the government and our ridiculously narrow real estate-based economy.

    The rest of us always have to deal with all the blowback from their stupid short-sighted sugar hit.

    Hopefully this time the coalition carries the can.

    Endless “growth” is impossible in a closed system such as a planet.

  10. In the theme of one of your previous articles – the NZ media will never loose hope – no matter what the hard, cold evidence in front of them tells them.
    An RNZ article listing the multiple indicators of an upcoming recession was titled “Some signs of hope as economy struggles to get traction”.
    An article in the NZ Herald detailing the higher number of business liquidations this year than last – ended with the, surely by now embarrassing, phrase “there are some signs of green shoots in the economy”.

  11. There goes the right wing economic strategy of pretending that imported migrant cash represents NZ produced wealth.

  12. It’s a pretty damning indictment of Labour that they should be anywhere close to level pegging with the putz government.

    The collapse of support for the ineffectual Keir Starmer government in the UK ought to be a salutary lesson for the incoming Labour government here, that kicking the neoliberal can down the road isn’t going to cut it this time, nor are attacks on the usual suspects – poorly delineated racists, gender sceptics, and those that dare to question the wisdom of raining 1080 from the sky like it was 245T in the 1980s.

    I’m not sure we can expect a well thought out response, but NZ, with its economy plummeting like Monty Python’s flying sheep, is not exactly well-prepared for the softening of the world economy occasioned by Trumpian instability that can be expected to mature around the time of his de-election or second attempted coup as the case may be.

    There are a lot of economists out there who are proving, as usual, that the statistical confidence of their projections is less than chance, and that considerable savings along with better projections are to be made by replacing them with flipped coins.
