The article is pretty thorough and I think shows that this isn’t exactly some crazy unheard of thing.
At a glance it seems this graph of NZer arrivals in Australia is not unexpected. I’m not convinced the COVID hole is even filled yet? As in all the people that would have moved to Australia but couldn’t because of COVID. Based on this graph it looks like they wouldn’t have all made it across yet.

Is the y-axis scale logarithmic?
No not logarithmic but now you mention it, it doesn’t start at zero. That would throw off first impressions I think.
Still, I don’t think the drop over COVID has been fully offset by the increase.
The y-axis is just crap…non-linear but not a log scale…
