I migrated from New Zealand to Australia, yet I like the current ruling coalition and government in New Zealand and dislike the Australian ruling coalition and government. There are reasons to migrate beyond politics.

There's been a lot of discussion recently about Chinese influence or interference in Australia, and much of that is through Chinese people living in Australia. For example, Chau Chak Wing is a Chinese-Australian billionaire with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, is one of Australia's top political donors, and is the unindicted co-conspirator in a bribery case involving the former president of the UN general assembly. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/political-donor-chau-chak-wing-behind-un-bribe-scandal-parliament-told-20180522-p4zgs5.html https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/political-donor-chau... Edit: In today's news, more controversy around another Chinese billionaire with permanent residence in Australia and how he's getting involved in Australian politics for the benefit of the CCP https://www.smh.com.au/politics/western-australia/wyatt-s-all-expenses-paid-china-trip-linked-to-controversial-billionaire-communist-regime-20180815-p4zxn2.html https://www.smh.com.au/politics/western-australia/wyatt-s-al...

  Chinese influence has been going on a long time. I'm not sure whether politicians are aware and think they're immune. Or unaware and naive. http://articles.latimes.com/1994-10-28/news/mn-55837_1_business-ties/4 http://articles.latimes.com/1994-10-28/news/mn-55837_1_busin...

Because people are complicated and do things for complicated reasons.
