Migration in and out of New Zealand is still at record levels.
Provisional estimates for February show more than 253,000 migrants arrived and about 122,000 left, putting net migration at almost 131,000.
Arrivals and departures are the highest on record, but net migration was down about 12 thousand from last November.
Massey University Sociologist Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking that the large number of Asian immigrants entering New Zealand will have an impact on the cultural make up of the country.
He said that its primarily younger people coming over, so in 10 or 20 years we could be looking at a very different New Zealand.
