Former New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern Relocates to Australia Amid Migration Trend

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her family are relocating to Australia, joining a significant number of New Zealanders moving there amid a migration surge. The move, linked to work commitments, allows Ardern more time in New Zealand. Official data shows over 60,000 New Zealand citizens left in 2025, with 61% moving to Australia. This migration trend is a key issue ahead of New Zealand's November general election. Since resigning in 2023, Ardern has held fellowships in the US and serves on the Earthshot Prize board.
