The annual net migration loss to Australia last year was the largest in almost a decade.<\/p>\n

Data from Stats NZ for 2022 shows a net migration loss of 13,400 people from New Zealand to Australia, the largest annual loss since 2013.<\/p>\n

Last year, 33,863 people migrated from New Zealand to Australia, and 20,431 moved from Australia to New Zealand.<\/p>\n

One of those who jumped across the ditch was Kiwi nurse Samantha Bomell, who moved from Christchurch to Hervey Bay, north of the Sunshine Coast, in January with her husband Gray and two kids, aged 8 and 10.<\/p>\n

She said she has no regrets about making the move, and wishes she had done it sooner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pure stubbornness and lack of wanting to change to and uproot my kids that we didn\u2019t move sooner,\u201d Bomell told the\u00a0Herald<\/i>.<\/p>\n

As a nurse, she said, her pay has increased dramatically.<\/p>\n

In New Zealand, Bomell worked between 50 and 70 hours a fortnight. In Australia, she works just four days a fortnight, for the same amount of money.<\/p>\n
