They are voting with their feet . . .
An own-goal for you Rich, cherry-picked to suit your political
rhetoric:

Rich scroll down to the Annual Migration heading, below which you will
see the net migration gain/loss was negative from around January 21 to >January 23. Perhaps you can cite how many Police Officers moved to
Australia during that period?
Thanks Crash. I note that the link you give is all migration, not just
skilled workers. Police Officers are a particular focus given that
many apparently say they voted for National to get a better pay rise
than they expected from the previous government - that did not go so
well. The TV item showed how they are having to go through a training
process in Queensland (fair enough with different laws and more
violence to deal with), and that is meaning that some are having to
wait before resigning from NZ. If immigration is giving us a lot of
unskilled workers, then the net result may well be a loss of skilled
workers from New Zealand. I suspect that may also be a reason for a
shortage of doctors and nurses here, but I don't have statistics on
that. For sure we have a big resourcing problem that appears to be
getting worse in health as well as police . Do you find it baffling to understand why that is suddenly happening, Crash?
