There's an unclear picture of what New Zealand's losing from people moving overseas. About 70 thousand Kiwis left the country last year. Of those, 38% were people aged 18 to 30. New Zealand had a net migration gain of 27,000 migrants in 2024, just a fraction of the 128,000 gained in 2023. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking while there's clear data on the people arriving, it's not the same story for departures. He says there's no strong evidence of what skills are leaving,

The Minister said Seymour did not run the announcement past her before making it. Seymour disputes the overstep. "We've got a set of rules which are very clear, and we work very well together, but of course there's always people who try and beat these things up," he said.

Who knew helping charities was so hard? Or to put it another way, who knew charities were doing so well? We have had a clean up and clean out. We are shifting and shuffling and de-cluttering. This happens a bit at our house – I married a person who loves stuff, until they don’t. It hasn’t applied to me yet, but it applies to a lot of other stuff. Tables and chairs and clothes are in the current pile. So rather than dump them we ring people. We ring hospice - they are full. We ring SPCA - they are
