There's no demand for immigrants here in Australia - don't pay any attention to this video, he is a property investor trying to engineer speculative profits.  Australia is spiraling into debt and depression, there is no prospects for skilled migrants here, the economy has collapsed, the bottom has fallen out.

immigration means incoming people, emigration is exactly the opposite, people that is leaving.

"Is emigration a real word?"...Yes. It refers to people leaving their native country for another.

In this case its New Zealanders leaving New Zealand to come to Australia.

Jeremy Clarkson once said

"No one ever says, Well I have a happy home life, Im rich and I have many friends . . . so Im off. The only reason anyone has for going to live in another country is because theyve cocked everything up in their own.

Everyone you see planting olive groves on those endless new life abroad programmes is inevitably a sad and lonely individual who thinks their homeland is to blame for everything thats gone wrong in their empty, shallow, friend-free lives."

"'an ant hill" what do you mean?

I'm amused at NZers thinking that over 20% of people have left the sinking ship is "no problem." Thanks to Ruthanasia its a wate of time for most to work in NZ. I left in 1999 and walked into a job with a big raise, superannuation, paid days off every month...Wake up NZ and match this or kiss good-bye your youth!

OK Sorry I should have googled it first; anyway emigration means to "leave" a native country (or the perspective of the native country of someone leaving) and immigration is "coming to" another country and the perspective of a country to recieve someone. Migration is movement within a country. But he says Migration Out which is sort of out of context of the word. But I get it now :)
