New Zealands annual net migration rose to a record in September, beating government forecasts, as the inflow was spurred by student arrivals from India and Kiwis returning home from Australia. The country gained a net 45,400 migrants in the year ended September 30, the biggest ever gain, according to Statistics New Zealand. Annual arrivals rose to 105,500, a record for a September year, while departures fell 21 per cent from the previous year to 60,100. Meanwhile, the net loss of 6000 people to Australia was down from 25,300 for the same period a year earlier. New Zealand Herald
