One of the country's most well known philanthropists is packing his bags, and leaving for Australia.
Sir Ray Avery is ditching New Zealand as he's says he's sick of the tall poppy syndrome, and claims the Government refused to listen to his ideas on how to make the country a better place.
He says that's what tends to happen in New Zealand, people tend to break down people who stand up above the parapet, but in Australia they're held in much higher regard.
He told Heather du Plessis-Allan he's following in the footsteps of Fred Hollows by moving to Australia where they're far more supportive of high achievers.
