  1. Wah, wah, why should NZ have to ‘support’ restaurants with unrealistic expectations and often poor wages and conditions for staff and can’t attract local people…. there used to be students who did cafe work but now if you look at what jobs students used to have… all gone because supermarkets, retail, and cafe’s expect to click their fingers and cheery pick foreigners to conveniently working there full time while on below full time wages in Auckland and taking up housing, who only work there, as this shows, because they want residency not because they want the job or are going to stay in the location!

    Once these workers get permanent residency they can quit the job and work somewhere else or go on the dole, so not exactly helping NZ grow past it’s low wage, service job trend… half the time the business owner is actually get residency too as an ‘entrenprenuer’, on the basis of the flawed restaurant model… it’s Ponzi on Ponzi, just like the import businesses with drugs on the side or the money laundering jobs…. that getting more criminals into NZ!

    If industry can’t attract local staff then that says a lot about the industry themselves!!! Maybe a little ‘side’ revenue from workers paying for jobs, which has been widely documented within the industry, not necessarily this restaurant, but apparently rampant now within NZ’s dysfunctional industries.

    P>S> Wonder what 8 years experience of Chef experience, full time with unsociable hours is paying in Devonport, one of the richest suburbs in Auckland???

    Possibly not what it should be, and the restaurants have to adapt to put the risk into the equation of hiring someone who still needs work visas to work and what can go wrong with that, instead of investing in a local who already has the paperwork to work there.

  2. Government has zero biosecurity risk control and learnt nothing from the bacterial infection from PSA originated from China that decimated NZ kiwifruit…

    Concerns raised over arrival of ‘high-risk’ Chinese live export ship

    “The New Zealand High Court has found that the Ministry of Primary Industries was negligent in allowing the deadly Psa disease into the country in 2009, in what is being hailed as a “landmark decision.”

    The court also ruled that that MPI owed a duty of care to kiwifruit growers when carrying out its biosecurity functions, which Kiwifruit Claim chairman John Cameron described as “hugely significant for the kiwifruit industry and other primary industries.” ”
