Are you angry that ANZ is shifting 100 jobs to New Zealand? The cost advantages of off-shoring to a country like India are clear, but why is ANZ bothering to move 100 Melbourne call centre jobs to Wellington?

Surely the bank can’t be saving that much money by off-shoring to a country with similar pay rates to Australia?

The Finance Sector Union has accused ANZ of profiting at the expense of Australian taxpayers and local jobs. "The FSU is urging the federal Government to use its financial assistance to force ANZ to keep Australian jobs in Australia," says union national secretary Leon Carter.

Or is this just a petty trans-Tasman tiff? After all, the 100 Aus jobs are going through national attrition and call centres have high annual staff turnover rates of 30% or more. No one is actually getting fired.

And shouldn’t a bank with a name like ANZ be free to move jobs over the ditch whenever it wants? Should NZ really be considered an overseas employment market for ANZ?
