Hmmm.... a lot of misinformation here from people who don't live in New Zealand!
Houses in New Zealand are cheaper, and generally larger than the UK, and as for being expensive compared to Melbourne or Sydney , whoever made that comment has been drinking XXX!
Petrol is considerably cheaper than in the UK, even now!
There are 4.3 million people in NZ in a land mass larger than the UK which has 60 million or whatever, and Australia which has 23 million, give or take! Why do people therefore make such pointless comparisons? Blind Freddy can see the only real issue is quality of lifestyle.
As for pay comparison...there are a lot of ex-RAF people in NZ already, [among still a large number of UK immigrants every year],who presumably didn't move for the money,[ which will be less than the RAF or the RAAF, but relative to NZ], but made a commitment to change their lifestyle. If you have a problem with that then you'd best stay where you are!
Just a final point, those recruiters will be looking for a commitment! If you have doubts about that, then don't bother.
