The gap gets narrower

The July migration data is out. The Australia annual data is fascinating.

22,620 people arrived from Australia in the last year, including 15,050 NZers returning home
Two years ago in the year to July 12, only 14,040 arrived.
Only 29,770 people left to Australia in the last year.
Two years ago in the year to July 12, 53,910 departed to Australia.
The net loss to Australia in the year to July 2012 was 39,870 and in the last year was just 7,150.
In the last two months the net loss to Australia has been under 100 a month which is under three a day!

I await opposition parties demanding we stop Australians migrating here, and stop New Zealanders returning home!
