title: A history of population movement between New Zealand and Australia.
abstract: "Migration between New Zealand and Australia has assumed considerable significance for both countries during the past 25 years. Commencing in the late 1960s, three major waves of net immigration from New Zealand have seen Australia's New Zealand-born population increase from 52,000 at the 1966 Census to 212,000 at the 1986 Census.... This paper aims to set these contemporary trends in historical context.  So strong has been the tide flowing towards Australia that it is easy to imagine, erroneously, that it always flowed that way."  Movements since the early 1800s are examined.  Aspects considered include major periods of net migration, gender balance, short-term and permanent movement, and size and composition of immigrant groups.  The impact of changes in migration policies over time is analyzed.  The author's name is incorrectly listed as George A. Carmichael on this article. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)
