In the end we’re never going compete with what Australia can offer financially, but NZ never used to need to. It used to be that many people would accept a lower salary and often even migrate to NZ because it offered a better way of life than so many other places, often including Australia, but presently its questionable of that’s still true for a lot of people. That’s especially the case if you’re in a front line profession like teaching or nursing where the nature of the job means you constantly have to face consequences from increasing breakdowns in other parts of society.
Honesty many people I know immigrated to NZ because they couldn’t get into Australia. That was probably 20-30 years ago.
When unemployment starts rising again Australia will be taking less, but of course by then we won’t need them either.
NZ doesn’t have a shortage of teachers. I come across teachers all the time, they just argent teaching because they can make more money in an entry level call centre job with a lot less stress.
I don’t like it either but NZ does it too. Eg. We’re poaching Fiji’s bus drivers.
