Shock/Horror - Labor bad for the country

SMH - More than 40,000 New Zealanders have been lured to Australia during the past year in what is the biggest exodus for a decade, new figures show. The Dominion Post today reported figures from Statistics New Zealand that show the number of New Zealanders moving to Australia was up almost 6200 on the previous year. New Zealand’s main opposition National Party said the figures were worrying. “Clearly more and more New Zealanders are voting with their feet as they find Labour’s high-tax, government-knows-best policies are leaving less opportunity for the future than they see in Australia,” National’s migration spokesman Lockwood Smith told the paper.

You want to know what Australia would be like under wall to wall Labor governments? Head on over to the airport and ask all those Kiwis & Poms coming over here. They sure ain’t fleeing utopia & good times, that’s for sure.

  1. It’s like heading down to the beach on a nice summer’s day, only to find a tsunami heading right towards you.

    Good luck for Saturday, Australia.

    On the bright side, a fair amount of suffering can bring about deep and lasting change…
