Disillusioned Americans eye New Zealand

New Zealand Herald Sun -- Wellington -- 06nov04

INQUIRIES from Americans wanting to move to New Zealand have skyrocketed since George W. Bush was re-elected president of the United States.

The Immigration Service website had 10,300 hits from the United States the day after the election, compared with the daily norm of 2500.
Thousands of North Americans have migrated to New Zealand in recent years - attracted by the country's small population, clean, green image of bush-clad mountains, and isolation from world trouble spots - but the number now looks set to soar.

Phones at the Immigration Service offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland have been ringing constantly since the vote outcome, marketing manager Don Badman told the Dominion Post newspaper today.

There have been up to 300 telephone calls and emails a day compared with six to eight calls a day before the election.

"It's exploded. It really started picking up from 11pm the night of the election," he said.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Americans were also looking to Australia and Canada following the election.
