As Kiwis leave in record numbers, is the grass really greener in the UK and Australia?

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024.    Kiwis have departed New Zealand in record numbers this year.  News reports covering monthly migration data have repeatedly announced new records of net migration loss, with the latest stats from the year to September showing 79,700 migrant departures.   Just over half of those leaving the country moved to Australia, while the lure of the traditional UK OE is still taking people to London.  But is moving overseas going to make your life less expensive? In July, NZ Herald reporter Ben Leahy joined us after crunching the numbers to see if the grass is really greener on the side.   New episodes return January 13th.  Host: Chelsea Daniels Audio Engineers: Paddy Fox, Richard Martin Executive Producer: Ethan Sills See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
