It's hardly a new thing, Kiwis leaving for higher wages in Australia. In the commodities boom around 2010 - 12 period I use to visit Perth regularly for work & there were reports of a 1000 people arriving a week into WA alone, to fill all the highly paid resources sector jobs. I remember a Maccas managers job in some far flung mining town being offered $150K per year & a free house!
