1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: So to these stats on migration in the years of July, 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: our neck gain is down to thirteen one hundred. July 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: itself numbers were up fourteen thousand, which is eight percent 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: more than July of last year. So, like all these things, 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: it depends on how you read it. Marcus Beveridge, as 6 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: the managing director of Immigration lawyer at Quen City Lawren's 7 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: back with It's Marcus morning. 8 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: Hey Mike hanging well. 9 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: I am. My great concern is that we get to 10 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: less than zero and we're a net exporter of people. 11 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: Do you see it getting down to that or are 12 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: we bottoming out here? 13 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: We really need to sort of grab this and do 14 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 2: a bit of an engine rebar instead of tweaking around 15 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: the side. So I think half of the citizens leaving 16 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 2: New Zealand going to Ossie weren't born here and they 17 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: have to remain. You know, new residents have to stay 18 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: here for five years before they become citizens of New 19 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 2: Zealand then can jump across the ditch. So that's one 20 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: thing we could extend that period. But we know when 21 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: less people coming, less work is less tax and take, 22 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: it can turn into a bit of a vicious cycle. 23 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of the people leaving probably 24 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: are more to the right of politics, so it means 25 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: that the left sort of has a much better chance 26 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: of getting in power in the mad hatters, and then 27 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 2: it becomes a banana republic here. 28 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: Marcus, you just enterprising me. You're following the Just Enterprise 29 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: story in Australia bringing in the Indian voters and they 30 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: all vote labor. 31 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: There you have it. Well, I think they're I think 32 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,639 Speaker 2: they're quite a malleable sort of community, and they afflick 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: to which episode works for them at the time. 34 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: Having said that, as far as the people leaving versus 35 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: the people coming in, Peters makes the speech over the weekend, 36 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: I thought was interesting. Thirty percent of people in this 37 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: country now weren't born here. Did you know that? 38 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: I no, I didn't know that precisely. But I've been 39 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: waiting for Winston to fire up for immigration because he 40 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: sort of sticks to his knitting. 41 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: Doesn't he Yes, he does. But that's an interesting stat 42 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: isn't that. We've seen, have we not, in the last 43 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: handful of years a profound change in the makeup of 44 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: this country population wise? We have? 45 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: And and the thing is, if you look at someone 46 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: like Ronald Reagan and his speech to America about replenishing 47 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: and refreshing the stock of people coming through buying into 48 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: the American dream. New Zealand is still widely seen as 49 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: the land of milk and honey, and if we open 50 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: the door we get a big influx of immigration that 51 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: the migrants have very small, short memories, so even if 52 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: we don't think we're doing that well, they still think 53 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: it's a wonderful country. So if we get the settings right, 54 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: we can actually kind of stimulate a lot of activity here. 55 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: So the key is in the setting. Is always good 56 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: to have you on the program.
