BARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country): Thank you, Madam Chair. It's not a great surprise that we've ended up in this position because, if we look at many of the stories that we've been dealing with for the past little while, and even in the last 24 hours, three headlines: "More than 80,000 job listings as employers battle for staff", next quote, "Stretched farmers frustrated at exemption process", next quote, "Business confidence rebounds but labour shortages worst on record". It is no surprise that we've ended up here.
