Further to my July comments, in which I compared the New Zealand immigration quota with that of Australia, I am quite concerned with the number of Kiwi's going over to Australia. Please see article published on 25 September. 

In a previous article on 5 July 2007 , we read that the New Zealand government has reduced the number of immigrants able to apply for residency in New Zealand. This is quite strange for two reasons;

• in Australia they increased the number of possible immigrants as they are fully aware that the country needs immigrants and the contribution they make.
• An article posted on 2 October 2007 confirms the great contribution from Immigrants to New Zealand. The monetary value is said to be $3 billion net, that is pure contribution with the expenses to health and education already taken out!!

Which business sector earns that amount of money in cash and net for the Government??
