Immigration rebalance 'elitist' - Migrant Workers Association

From Morning Report, 6:08 am on 12 May 2022

New Zealand borders will fully open to visitors, workers and students from August - much earlier than expected.

The Government is hoping to attract migrants in 85 hard-to-fill roles with a Green List, which includes high-skilled healthcare, engineers, trade and tech sector workers.

Migrant Workers Association spokesperson Anu Kaloti says much of the plan is "elitest and divisive".

She spoke to Corin Dann.
