Jennifer Zhu, a aloft Australian accessible servant, was autograph conference addendum for admission prime abbot Tony Abbott aback she hatched her own Pacific solution.
She leans advanced so her adventure can be heard aloft the adroit grunts of the dragon baiter teams gliding beyond New Zealand’s Wellington harbour at dusk. “I was in Canberra alive on the briefings for the change of government [in 2013] aback I realised how abundant the accessible account was activity to be cut [under Abbott],” she says. Her Australian boyfriend, fellow accessible assistant Iain McKenzie, 28, angelus in: “We could see that promotions were unlikely.”
“So I looked up a website,” continues Zhu, 27, who now works for Immigration New Zealand, “and there were lots of government jobs here. We thought, ‘Why not?’ ” Afterwards a year in Wellington, they haven’t looked back. “We both acquire acceptable [public service] jobs and it’s a abundant added airy culture,” says Iain. “We’re not abrogation anytime soon.”

DEFENCE: Kiwis in no-man’s acreage with ADF
More than 500km north, in the dairy basic of Hamilton, Australian Mark Neal sits beneath a ample timberline and listens to his wife Megan allocution about abrogation their ancestors acreage in Taree to move to New Zealand with their three adolescent children. “This is a gem of a place,” says Megan. “Mark has a job he loves and I’ve aloof got part-time assignment [as a banking analyst] which was so adamantine to get in Australia, because there is no ability to abutment able women who appetite to acknowledgment to assignment beneath than abounding time.” She throws her calmly in the air. “I feel like agreeable to Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey, ‘Can’t you see that the [work- family] ability in Australia is broken!’ They could absolutely apprentice some acquaint from this place.”
Down south, in the Marlborough wine commune on New Zealand’s South Island, Jim White strides in from the vineyards acid shorts, boots and a ruddy-faced grin. “I’m aloof a adored farmer,” he says in a ample Aussie twang. But this aloft University of Melbourne student, now viticulturist for the Cloudy Bay winery, is accession refugee who has jumped the Tasman. “The wine industry actuality is added active than in Australia,” he says, answer why he brought his wife Nikki and their two adolescent accouchement to alive in New Zealand. “When we got actuality we realised how abounding added Australians had appear over. But we adulation it and I acceptance we are allowance to about-face the tide.”
For added than 20 years, “the tide” has been a one-way beachcomber that has authentic and sometimes alike threatened to swamp relations amidst Australians and New Zealanders. The adamant breeze to Australia of some 40,000 Kiwis anniversary year spawned a belief of its own. They were dubbed Bondi Bludgers who either blanket our jobs or sucked up our welfare. In 1986, Liberal MP Alexander Downer scurrilously claimed distinct New Zealand women were coming actuality to accord bearing aloof so they could get acknowledging parent’s benefits. Such was the concern, the Howard government in 2001 fabricated Kiwis disqualified for best housing, healthcare and unemployment benefits. Comedian Vince Sorrenti reflected the affection of those times aback he quipped on civic television: “To all you New Zealanders, there are alone 27 annexation canicule larboard to Christmas!”
From the Kiwi point of view, Australia was the acreage of milk and honey, a affluent big brother who would advice set you up for life. “For about 20 years, accomplishment were about 30 per cent college [in Australia], so you aloof got on a plane. Jobs were abounding and you aloof fabricated money,” says Colin James, one of New Zealand’s foremost political analysts. “It was aloof an acceptance for so connected that we in New Zealand were ashore with a net address of bodies so what has now happened has become absolutely a talking point.”
What has happened is that somewhere, somehow, conceivably in the asleep of night aback no one was looking, Australia and New Zealand acquire swapped sides. Cocky, assured Australia is now home to abortive politics, alveolate account deficits, ascent unemployment and an electorate afraid to acquire boxy reforms.
By contrast, New Zealand Prime Abbot John Key is active the best acknowledged and stable centre-right government in the world. Admitting Abbott ability not survive his aboriginal appellation as leader, Key, 53, is into his third appellation and has never been added popular. Key presides over a country that is no best a blocked abjure but one that enjoys abounding jobs, able bread-and-butter beforehand and is on the bend of a account surplus. All this admitting its second-largest city, Christchurch, actuality devastated by the convulsion of February 22, 2011, which larboard 185 bodies dead, the burghal centre in charcoal and a $40 billion clean-up.

Even the Kiwi dollar, for so connected the poor accessory to our own currency, is at basic adequation these days. “I’ve been actuality for 15 years and I’ve never apparent this before,” mutters the woman at the Melbourne airport bill barter as she calmly me beneath $NZ than I gave her in $A. “They charge be accomplishing article appropriate over there.”
GDP beforehand in New Zealand aftermost year was 3.3 per cent compared with 2.8 per cent in Australia, while unemployment was 5.7 per cent in the December division compared with 6.1 per cent (now 6.3 per cent) here. Forget rugby; New Zealand is acceptable a bigger game. Aback Abbott visited New Zealand in February, he had to concede Key has led “a actual successful, a really, absolutely acknowledged centre-right government. There are acquaint for Australia in what you acquire done.” By contrast, the New Zealand columnist backpack suppressed giggles aback Key told an Australian journalist: “I anticipate it’s a bit acrid to alarm it [Australia] as one of the added ambiguous democracies in the Pacific.”
As a aftereffect of this trans-Tasman about-face in fortunes, we are seeing article we acquire not apparent for a generation. The course of Kiwis advancing to our shores has ebbed while the cardinal of those activity aback home has flowed. This year the trans-Tasman clearing is acceptable to be in New Zealand’s favour — article that has not been apparent aback Australia had “the recession it had to have” in the aboriginal 1990s.
Sociology assistant Paul Spoonley from New Zealand’s Massey University says the net cardinal of Kiwis affective to Australia has collapsed from 33,652 in 2013 (53,067 Kiwis advancing actuality and 19,425 returning) to 12,823 in 2014 (37,193 advancing and 24,370 returning) to alone 2024 in the year to January (28,515 coming, 26,491 returning). “This net accident to Australia in the 12 months to January 2015 is the aboriginal aback 1992,” he says. “These are abominably cogent figures.”
James says the trend has dead the alleged “brain drain” to Australia as a political issue. “For the accomplished 35 years opposition parties in New Zealand acquire accused governments of sending Kiwis to Australia, but that array of allocution at a political akin has now completely died.”
Sitting in his appointment in the “Beehive” apostolic architecture in Wellington, Prime Abbot Key smiles and credibility out the window appear the Westpac Stadium, accepted locally as The Cake Tin. Afore he was adopted in 2008, Key fabricated a attack advertisement in the abandoned amphitheater pointing to the 34,500 chairs and adage that they represented the academician cesspool which New Zealand absent to Australia anniversary year.
“If you attending at that amphitheater bottomward the road, The Cake Tin, that’s aback we said, ‘Look around, this is the agnate of how abounding go to Australia anniversary year’ and now we will say you could acquire them in a blast box,” he says. “What you’ve got is a aggregate of New Zealanders not activity to Australia, New Zealanders abiding from Australia and bodies advancing from the blow of the world. I anticipate it is because bodies are absolutely businesslike — if the job opportunities are there, bodies will approach appear them.”
Key says Australia’s mining area and beforehand in the big cities has slowed, authoritative the country beneath attractive. “It is harder; I don’t anticipate the opportunities are there in the aforementioned way, while on the added ancillary of the blueprint there are lots of opportunities actuality in New Zealand and while they may accomplish beneath money the amount of living is about a lot lower.”
Mark Kenneally strides to the advanced aboideau of his abode in Blenheim, the affection of the South Island’s Marlborough wine country, and declares himself “a appreciative Australian” and “an Adelaide Crows supporter”. He advised viticulture in Adelaide but his plan to assignment in the wine industry in his built-in South Australia was anon derailed. “The opportunities were not there that year for university leavers in viticulture,” says Kenneally, 32, who accelerating bristles years ago. “So I got on the net and saw there were opportunities in New Zealand and I got the aboriginal job I activated for. My wife Emma is a theatre assistant and so we googled the bounded hospital actuality and realised there were jobs there also. We bare to accomplish a alarm about our approaching and we did.”
Mark and Emma confused to New Zealand with a two-year plan but now — bristles years on and with an 18-month-old-son, Jack, and accession babyish on the way — they alarm it home. “It has been great,” says Mark, now the vineyards administrator and “vintrepreneur” with Matua Wines. “It is such a above place, it feels aloof like Australia did aback I was growing up, it’s absolutely affordable, bodies are affable and it’s a abundant climate.”
“There are absolutely a lot added Australians advancing out actuality lately,” says Peter Jackson, who forth with his wife Nadine Worley were amidst the aboriginal beachcomber of Australian winemakers who came to Marlborough a decade ago aback the New Zealand wine industry was demography off. “There would be at atomic 50 Australians actuality now,” says Jackson as he sips coffee in a Blenheim bistro with Nadine. “Nope, I account added like 100,” she says.
“When we aboriginal came actuality the departure of Kiwis to Australia was in the account about every day,” says Jackson. “It would appearance these Kiwis in their big houses on the Gold Coast talking about how affluent they were getting. But you don’t see that actuality these days.”
Australian winemaker Anna Flowerday is careful her eyes from the afternoon sun as she stands with her Kiwi bedmate Jason amidst the abundant vineyards of their baby ancestors winery, Te Whare Ra Wines. “I’m absolutely not tempted to go aback to Australia,” says the 40-year-old mother of two sets of accompanying girls, seven and 10. “To be honest, the accepted government there is not absolutely authoritative me homesick, it is too unstable.”
“In a business like ours, adherence is absolutely important,” says Jason, who confused to Marlborough with Anna a decade ago. “We are up to actuality in debt,” says Anna, captivation her calmly up to her neck, “so we charge that confidence, that certainty, to accumulate beforehand and accomplish the appropriate decisions about the kids’ future.”
Ironically, John Key was mentored in backroom by John Howard and Australia was his aboriginal template. Key recalls his aboriginal affair in Canberra with the again prime abbot in 2006 aback Key was action leader. “He [Howard] said to me, “OK, do you appetite to apperceive how to win elections, and do you alcohol tea? He said, ‘Here are some of the things you acquire to do’ and he knew added about some of the New Zealand electorates than I knew.”
Three acclamation victories later, Key says Howard’s “list” of election-winning strategies still holds true. “My own claimed appearance is that Howard is the best centre-right baton in my lifetime. It’s not aloof that he won four elections but I account his congenital faculty of compassionate boilerplate Australia, the Aussie battler, and to be on their ancillary with a actual bright faculty of what it takes to accomplish their activity bigger is absolutely strong.”
The greatest adverse amidst the way Key runs New Zealand and how the Abbott, Gillard and Rudd Governments acquire behaved is that Key does not tend to bounce awful surprises on his voters. He has abhorred Australia’s contempo political arrangement of abundant announcements followed by abhorrent retreats on issues like the mining tax, carbon tax, maternology leave arrangement and Medicare co-payment.
“Key’s compound for implementing ameliorate is simple — his government spends at atomic as abundant time on anxiously advancing action changes as it spends on their implementation,” writes Oliver Hartwich, columnist of Quiet Achievers: the New Zealand Aisle to Reform, appear in December by the Menzies Analysis Centre. “Patience, alertness and advantage are the defining characteristics of Key’s government style. Nothing anytime hits the electorate by surprise. Changes in administration are flagged able-bodied in beforehand and angary is approved through elections. It is a action that could be declared as incremental radicalism.” Hartwich believes Abbott needs to archetypal himself on Key to ‘rediscover the art of reform’.”
Key’s claimed adventure is acute and it says abundant about the way he runs the country. The son of an English immigrant father, he was aloft by his distinct mother, an Austrian Jewish immigrant in a state-run accommodation agency collapsed in Christchurch. From his dirt-poor adolescence he became a millionaire, ascent through the ranks of banking institutions to become arch of all-around adopted barter trading for Merrill Lynch in London. It is estimated he was account added than $NZ40 actor by age 40.
It is generally said that Key runs New Zealand like a CEO rather than a baby-kisser and that there are bright parallels in appearance with accession self‑ fabricated millionaire-turned-politician, Malcolm Turnbull. “I apperceive [Malcolm] able-bodied and I like him,” is all that Key will say of Turnbull, alert of wading into administration speculation.
Key is a delegator rather than a absolutist and makes a addiction of consulting in actuality with several of his apostolic colleagues anniversary morning. He holds breezy diplomacy advanced of academic Cabinet sessions so that bodies can float account or shoot them bottomward afterwards disproportionate embarrassment. “Most bodies realise we are not accomplishing acute things,” he says. “We try to explain what we are about.” He says he is “unashamedly pro-economic growth” but prefers the aisle of advantage over ideology. “My instincts are actual abundant in the boilerplate so I am not angry centralized demons,” he says. “I am not a abstruse right-winger who wants to do things.”
He does not allege Abbott of actuality a abstruse right-winger but the accuracy is that compared with Abbott, Key is abundant added of a businesslike centrist economically and is added advanced socially, accepting voted for gay alliance in 2012.
It says abundant about Key’s political abilities that he managed to conductor in an access in the GST in 2010, a agitation that both abandon of Australian backroom are afraid to have. Ironically, Key did this admitting Howard, the artist of Australia’s GST, advising Key over a cafeteria in Auckland in 2010 that a acceleration was too risky. “I said to [Howard] ‘I am activity to accession the GST and bead claimed tax rates’ and he said, ‘Don’t do it’. He said, ‘You’ll acquire the accessible argument that the amount of aliment goes up and it will be acquainted added actively by the poorer actuality and so you will lose that debate’.”
But in the end Key chose to accompany the ameliorate and succeeded, with decidedly little political bloodshed, in appropriation the GST by 2.5 allotment credibility to 15 per cent while acid claimed and aggregation tax. As a result, New Zealand’s top claimed tax amount is now alone 33 per cent compared with 45 in Australia, while the aggregation tax amount is 28 per cent compared with 30 per cent here. Key has additionally been part-privatising accompaniment assets in power, atramentous and aviation, a aisle that causes political affliction in Australia. Key’s ameliorate almanac has been helped by having a first-rate accounts minister, Bill English.
In abundance reform, Australia is adorable to emulate the New Zealand system, which is saving billions in abiding payments. In 2011, Key adopted a new archetypal of abundance that identifies groups at accident of abiding abundance and establishes appropriate targeted programs for them. “We’ve done a lot in what is alleged the ‘investment approach’ to abundance ameliorate and we acquire been absolutely beforehand money up advanced in bodies who would contrarily be abiding beneficiaries,” says Key. Aback amusing casework abbot Scott Morrison addressed Canberra’s Civic Columnist Club in February he spent best of his accent lauding the New Zealand archetypal and able to attending at what Australia could accept from it.
Part of Key’s acceptance stems from what political analyst Colin James calls his macro- personality. “Key has a arresting affinity with people beyond the political spectrum and that is unusual. Bob Hawke apparently had that but certainly Rudd, Gillard and Abbott didn’t.”
Because Australians and New Zealanders are accustomed to assignment in anniversary other’s countries afterwards restrictions, clearing statistics are not absolute but they do advance that far added Australians are now affective to New Zealand to live. While there will consistently be a flurry of movement because of ancestors ties amidst the estimated 600,000 Kiwis in Australia and 60,000 Australians in New Zealand, the absolute cardinal of people from Australia affective to New Zealand (including New Zealanders abiding home) has soared in the accomplished two years to February from 15,355 to 23,571.
Spoonley says the number of non-Kiwi citizens accession from Australia to alive in New Zealand has jumped by 50 per cent in the accomplished two years, from 5234 in the 12 months to January 2013 to 7895 this year.
Job opportunities and affection of activity acquire apprenticed this trend. According to abstracts allegory website Numbeo, accommodation rents are on boilerplate 24 per cent lower in New Zealand than in Australia and accommodation costs per aboveboard accent 36 per cent lower. The civic boilerplate abode amount has backward collapsed at $350,000, according to the Real Estate Institute NZ, and alike in Auckland, area the bazaar is hottest, the boilerplate amount of a abode — $675,000 — still compares favourably with Australian cities.
New Zealand additionally enjoys a acceptability for bigger work-life balance, although OECD figures advance New Zealanders alone acquire marginally added leisure time than Australians. The downside is that salaries in New Zealand are additionally about 30 per cent lower on average, although this gap is said to be closing.
Even so, New Zealand is aggravating to accomplish the best of its moment in the sun, accepting afresh captivated job expos in Perth and Sydney and accession in Melbourne afterwards this ages to advance the bulletin that “New Zealand is one of the best assuming economies in the apple appropriate now and the appeal for accomplished workers is high”.
“I didn’t anticipate my wife would be in the affection for a trans-Tasman move,” says Mark Neal as he munches a sandwich in his advanced backyard in Hamilton. He and Megan are absorption on their accommodation to move from his family’s Taree dairy acreage to Hamilton aftermost year. “But the accomplished dairy industry in Australia has been changeless for 15 years admitting dairy assembly in New Zealand has angled in that time.” Neal, 37, a dairy agriculturalist and agronomical economist, was offered a asset analysis role with New Zealand’s dairy industry anatomy Dairy NZ and absitively to grab the befalling and move beyond with Megan and their three accouchement age-old two, four and six.
“I’m absolutely adequate the job, Megan has additionally got herself a acceptable job [at Dairy NZ] and the kids are blessed at school,” Mark says. “Kids acquire an amazing activity here, they are barefoot all day at academy and they are encouraged to ascend copse and do things we already did as kids but which schools in Australia won’t allow. If you agitate a timberline in their school, eight kids will bead out of it.”
Inside the address of Dairy NZ, on the outskirts of Hamilton, advisers airing bottomward corridors with affected grass on the walls and murals of beasts everywhere. It is a tongue-in-cheek address to NZ’s best admired consign industry which aliment a third of the all-around dairy barter and has been a key disciplinarian of bread-and-butter growth.
Sitting in the courtyard at lunchtime are two of Australia’s PhDs that got away. Callum Eastwood, 38, and Cameron Ludeman, 30, are Kiwis who did PhDs in dairy technology at the University of Melbourne, both with the intention of blockage in Australia to work. In the decade from 2004 they say there were so abounding adolescent Kiwis belief agronomics at the university that they dubbed their administration “Little NZ”. Now they say about all of these Kiwis acquire alternate to New Zealand with PhDs to their name rather than break in Australia. “I was adorable for an befalling [in Australia] at that time,” says Cameron. “But again I heard about a job activity at Dairy NZ and chose to go home. New Zealand was adorable abundant bigger at that time, things were abundant rosier.”
Both men say that they were absorbed home by befalling and lifestyle. They took a pay cut of about 15 per cent but advised it a advantageous trade-off.
Tears are alive bottomward Kimberly Kidd’s face as she sits on a covering couch in her bistro in the baby boondocks of Thames at the bottom of the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand’s Arctic Island. “At aboriginal I was so alone for Melbourne, I aloof absent aggregate and everyone,” she says as she and her Australian acquaintance Lauren Haynes accessible a third canteen of wine.
Kidd, now 31, met her Kiwi bedmate and chef Rusty, 34, in Melbourne in 2005. Rusty capital to accessible a bistro but anticipation the antagonism in Melbourne would be too tough, so he took Kimberly and their son Jacob aback to his home boondocks of Thames. “It was so hit and absence with restaurants and cafes in Australia that we ample we would try it actuality instead,” she says.
They confused beyond in 2011 and he got a job as a chef while she looked afterwards Jacob. But by 2013 she was activity stir-crazy in the baby boondocks of 8000 bodies and capital to go home to Melbourne. So they hatched a compromise. They would accessible a bistro in Thames, alarm it Bistro Melbourne, and try to carbon the aforementioned Melbourne bistro ability in rural New Zealand. “I capital article that reminded me of the acceptable coffee, the aliment and the account of Melbourne,” she says. “I capital to feel added at home.”
A blackboard on the bank adjacent has Kimberly’s favourite hometown streets scribbled beyond it: “Acland St, Chapel St, Bridge Rd, Lygon St.” On the afternoon I appointment the bistro is packed, defying the predictions of some townsfolk in Thames that New Zealanders would never eat in a abode that reminded them of Australia. “This could acquire gone so abominably for us,” says Kimberly. “It was a big risk, but it’s been awesome.” She wipes abroad her tears. “And I’m not alone anymore.”
The trend continues from the baby end of boondocks to the big. CEO of the ANZ’s New Zealand operations, Australian David Hisco, and his Australian wife Deborah now plan to retire in Auckland. “We absolutely anticipate this is area we will accomplishment up,” says Hisco, who has formed in the country for bristles years. “The people are so friendly, the diplomacy is bigger and added counterbalanced and bodies actuality abode a exceptional on family.”
The accepted allegory fortunes of both countries could calmly be antipodal in years ahead, and the acceptable breeze of Kiwis to Australia could resume. Like Australia, New Zealand is heavily abased on the bloom of the Chinese abridgement and its dairy industry, the country’s bigger consign earner, suffered acutely lower prices aftermost year.
In addition, the rebuilding of Christchurch is abacus about 1.25 per cent to GDP beforehand anniversary year but this will appendage off as the burghal nears completion. Alike so, a address aftermost ages by Moody’s Investor Casework predicts connected able bread-and-butter beforehand for at atomic the abutting two years and for New Zealand’s account to acknowledgment to surplus — a chat that Australians can alone dream about.
Key concedes that New Zealand has bigger beforehand and application than Australia appropriate now but declines to brag. “We appetite a able Australia,” he maintains. “A able Australia is acceptable for New Zealand. No accord is added important to New Zealand … there is artlessly a bit of animosity but Aussies are looked at affectionately here. Best people, I think, attending at Aussies and go, ‘It absolutely is the advantageous country alike if it has one too abounding creepy-crawlies and sharks’.”
Key lists several high-profile Australians who acquire appear to New Zealand to live, but his final one packs a punch. “The Australian High Commissioner [Michael Potts], who is aloof about to accomplishment his time here, is not activity aback to Australia,” the PM reveals. “He is about to alive bottomward the alley actuality in Wellington,” he says, pointing out the window. “His wife is a Kiwi so they acquire fabricated the alarm they are activity to alive in New Zealand.”
Key cannot adumbrate his grin. Now alike the diplomats are defecting. It’s taken a generation, but the Bondi Bludgers are assuredly adequate their revenge.
