I mean, I would say that it's a problem if you are spending a lot of resources, like in strictly economic terms, if you're spending a lot of resources...
investing in your people and educating them in their healthcare and all of that.
And then in their prime productive years, they're all going off to make a buck overseas instead.
And that means that they're not kind of contributing to the economy and the tax base and everything else.
Then that is going to be a problem over time.
And then there's the cultural stuff.
Like there are 170,000 Maori in Australia.
So one in six Maori on the planet lives in Australia.
How many in the South Island?
I mean, that's actually a very good question.
That being said, I mean, we spoke to quite a few Māori over there, some of whom were like, yeah, it's amazing.
I'm earning more and more prosperous.
Absolutely love it here.
But others who said they honestly felt guilty.
They felt guilty about having their kids, Māori kids over there who have no connection to the whenua, no connection to –
language anything else like that and they said they like hear their kids say dance class and they're like oh man i there's something in me that kind of you know like that burns you know jack were you saying it was 170 000 maori in australia 140 000 in the south island yeah so outnumbered 17 to 14 yeah i mean i can shut up because i'm one of the south island maori and i live in the north island but that is that is a pretty amazing stat isn't it yeah that's crazy here's the tax rates
$45,000 is the top, eh?
And then so they don't have universal super.
So they don't have universal pension.
So not everyone gets a pension.
