In short:
A spokesperson for Jacinda Ardern says the former New Zealand prime minister and her family are moving to Australia.
Dame Jacinda had been living in the US and working for Harvard University.
It comes after media reports saying the former PM and her husband had been looking at properties for sale in Sydney.
Same as always. Beautiful country, not enough work, more opportunities just across the ditch on the east island (Australia). Migration from NZ to AU is basically a right of passage :)
Spoilers though: housing crisis in Oz is about the worst in the world.

Mrs Arden paid 4.3 million for her gaff in Sydney (according to sources). I’d love to tell you that was extreme for the market here but…its not as extreme as it use to be. My BIL’s first house in Melbourne (3x1) was 1.1 million…and that was 5 years ago. Its worth $2-3m now.
