‘People voting with their feet’: Labour seizes on exodus of over 72,000 Kiwis from NZ
Over 72,000 New Zealanders have left the country in the year to September, new data released by Stats NZ has revealed.
Figures show that the number of Kiwis headed for the departure gates came in at 72,700, with the next highest group of people leaving being Chinese, at 7900.
At the same time, New Zealand’s net migration gain in the year to September 2025 was the lowest it has been since 2013, excluding the Covid period, coming in at 12,400, down from over 42,000 in the year to September 2024.
…The sheer incompetence of this Government is staggering.
They imposed a massive public funding amputation using an Austerity Budget that borrowed more for tax cuts we cant afford while hollowing out actual money for public services.
This led to a total shut down of the construction industry for public housing builds and has seen workers flee to Australia!
National did this, National take the blame.
What I found most delightful, is the hypocrisy of the NZ mainstream media.
If Labour was in power during an exodus this massive, the mainstream media led by Mike Hosking would be demanding revolution while listing every reason Labour were driving Kiwis offshore, yet it happens while National is in power and no such reaction from the media!
If this many people had been leaving under Labour, Mike Hosking and every other Right Wing Troll would be screaming!
Oh how quiet they are as their Government destroys the Country so badly it is bleeding out in front of us.
Time to vote this Government out. Now.
