...relatively inexpensive--its six-course tasting menu was $29--and Batali was soon feeding downtown artists, actors and, crucially, reporters. He became the most charismatic of the young New York City chefs--fun, funny, a little crude. There was something brash about his willingness to serve a just-picked strawberry drizzled with sweet balsamic vinegar rather than do something more complex and chef-ish like extruding a berry-vinegar solution into a foam.

About 90% of the dynamic comes from the pull of high-wage Australia. During last year's election campaign, Don Brash, leader of National, the main opposition party, argued that the exodus was caused by his country's miserable growth in incomes (which are one-third below Australia's, on average, after tax) despite a good economic performance under successive governments led by Labour Prime Minister Helen Clark.
