New Zealand's provisional 2025 road toll of 272 was the second-lowest since 1952. The per capita fatality rate was the lowest in over 100 years. Australia has had a lower fatality rate than NZ since the early 1980s, but the gap is now the smallest in 43 years.

Stats NZ has again revised down their estimate of the number of New Zealanders that left the country in the last year permanently. They actually went on holiday. Those with the doomer narratives need a reality check.
