British newspaper The Telegraph has labelled the New Zealand Herald's coverage of the increase of Brits interested in moving to New Zealand after the Brexit referendum as "cheeky".
Yesterday the Herald ran a front-page story about the boost in Immigration New Zealand registrations from Great Britain that has since been picked up by The Telegraph and The Guardian.
More than 10,500 registrations from people considering moving here from Britain have been lodged with Immigration since the Brexit vote.
The day of the Brexit vote Immigration got 998 British registrations, compared with 109 the day before the vote. In 49 days after the vote, there were 10,647 registrations from the UK compared with 4599 over the same period last year.
Today the Telegraph reported on the story saying: "New Zealand has raised fears of a 'British invasion' after receiving a post-Brexit rush of interest from would-be migrants, including a tenfold increase on the day of the vote.
