Hi Guys
The following is from Tony Alexander's latest newsletter:
There was a net loss to the NZ population from permanent and long term migration flows in June of 270 people.
This result was only 200 worse than a year ago and this is the smallest such rate of deterioration since June 2003 when the numbers started turning around.
Back in May 2003 the net annual gain was a record 42,541.
Now it stands at 8,599 which is only just down from 8,799 last month.
In the three months to June emigrant numbers were up 15.6% from a year ago and immigrant numbers were up by 7.1%.
The data suggest that this migration cyclical decline is a mild one and the chances of a net annual outflow being recorded look fairly low now."There's one way to find out if a man is honest-ask him. If he says 'yes,' you know he is a crook." Groucho Marx

Drastic drop in immigration
23 September 2005
The number of new immigrants or New Zealanders returning home in the year ended August fell 66 per cent compared to the previous year, Statistics New Zealand said today.
For the year ended August there were 78,900 permanent long term (PLT) arrivals, down 3600 or 4 per cent on the previous August year.
PLT departures rose 9100 or 14 per cent to 72,300.
This led to a net migration gain of 6600 in the August year, 66 per cent lower than the 19,300 people in the previous August year.
Permanent and long-term (PLT) arrivals include people who arrive in New Zealand intending to stay for at least 12 months.
PLT departures include New Zealanders departing for a period of at least 12 months as well as long term departures by permanent residents and foreign visitors who have been in the country for more than a year.
For the August year foreign arrivals were down 2300 and departures by foreign PLT's were up 2200.
There were 1300 fewer New Zealand citizens arriving back permanently compared to the year-earlier and 6900 more New Zealand citizens leaving on a long term basis.
For the month of August there were 600 more PLT arrivals than departures in August, compared with 900 more arrivals than departures the same time last year.
Australia remains the destination of choice for New Zealanders leaving home on a long term basis. There was a net outflow to Australia in August, with 1600 more New Zealanders moving across the Tasman than returning home.
By contrast there was a net inflow from Britain for the month, of 900 more long term arrivals than people leaving.
