Is this the new normal for migration with Australia?

The latest migration data is out and once again net migration from Australia is positive. After it hit parity I’ve been expecting it to start to reverse. But it has now been positive for more than a year and this may be the new normal – that more people leave Australia to come to NZ than vice-versa.

Such a situation is very rare. Migration between developed countries tends to be from smaller ones to larger ones.
