In 2019 we had one of the highest net migration inflows per head of population, with 11.4 per 1000 people, compared to 2.4 per 1000 in Britain and 3.8 per 1000 in the United States. Businesses have benefited from this large growth in labour, and admitted as much during the conference’s morning tea break. Over danishes, croissants, bliss balls and coffee, directors confessed migrants on work visas sometimes made up the majority of their workers in areas like information technology. Now the migration tap has been turned off and those settings could stay this way for a significant period of time according to Spoonley.

Thousands protest against New Zealand government’s anti-immigrant policies
Hundreds of migrant workers and supporters rallied outside New Zealand’s parliament in Wellington yesterday to protest the Labour Party-Greens coalition government’s anti-immigrant policies.
The day before, hundreds attended protest vigils in Auckland, Christchurch and Hamilton. About 60 demonstrators also gathered in Queenstown, a tourism centre where many migrants lost their jobs last year due to the COVID-19 border closure and the economic collapse. Thousands of migrants were unable to access unemployment benefits.

Petition calls for residency for visa holders and overstayers Liu Chen © RNZ / Liu Chen
Two unions have presented more than 15,000 signatures to two MPs, calling for the government to give residency to long-term migrant workers and over-stayers.
Unite Union and the Migrant Workers Association started the petition last year, which has since gathered support from around the country.
The signatures, collected both online and at community events, were presented to Green MP and immigration spokesperson Ricardo Menéndez March and Labour MP Marja Lubeck who chairs the Education and Workforce Select Committee of Parliament.
Unite Union advocate Mike Treen said the petition essentially called on the government to use the Covid-19 crisis as an opportunity to fix long-standing problems associated with New Zealand s temporary migration system.
