This Government is rebalancing our approach to immigration. There will always be a place in this country for temporary workers and new residents, particularly those who are highly skilled and can do technical and specialised work that we need. But we cannot and must not let the immigration system act as a kind of fall-back for failing to train Kiwis and build the workforce that we need for the new economy. We cannot allow the immigration system to inhibit the investment and innovation that will result in higher productivity, higher wages, and more wellbeing in our community.
