An undiversified export economy, out of control house prices, a job-market primarily focused on two cities, a government intent on selling all public assets, very limited political interest in positive climate policies. The latter is simply addressed with "technology will help us out when we need it to".

And you suggest New Zealand?!

- Australian housing is a bargain compared to NZ ones.

- NZs job market is focused on one city, which is smaller, more expensive, lower wages and more crime than Brisbane or Perth.

There's a reason so many New Zealanders live in Australia and not vice versa.
