Changing faces of the Oz brain drain
From: NZ Herald, 1 October 2012
Article: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/economy/news/article.cfm?c_id=34&objectid=10837583
Loss of skilled trades workers is threatening NZ with economic crisis, experts warn.
The face of the exodus to Australia is changing as skilled trade workers in their 20s replace young, well-educated Kiwis flocking to Australia.
Ten years ago, New Zealand was hit by a brain drain; now young tradespeople are chasing jobs and larger pay packets in Australia in a migration dubbed the "trades drain".

Australians taking our Kiwi talent is always a difficult subject to broach in conversation.
Phar Lap's dual nationality hasn't been resolved and he died before World War II. So it's normally rather tense when the exodus of NZ's brightest students to Australia is mentioned.
