Government increasing number of RSE workers allowed into New Zealand from Pacific Islands
The Government is increasing the number of seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands that are allowed into New Zealand.
It is increasing the quota of Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme (RSE) workers by 1600, bringing it up to 16,000 people a year.
The globalists at Stuff have won with their never ending sob stories to ensure their own global skill set can always travel.
The hyper tourism market that exist to sell red bull to tourists are laughing.
The industries that benefit from migrant worker exploitation skip with joy.
All those kiwis stupid enough to travel during a pandemic are gleeful.
The international student scammers are delighted.
Welcome back exploited migrant workers and Students and tourists who will block our public transport, who will place rent pressures on domestic renters, who will crowd our groaning infrastructure!
Expect house prices to explode.
Weep dear Kiwi at the plague seeping in, weep at our Fortress NZ protection ripped away from us at a time when external shockwaves become the norm, weep that our quality of life plunges again.
Weep of course right up until the next variant gets loose or we lose control of Omicron and then the public will be screaming to shut MIQ.

Sadly true Martyn. I am reminded of a truth that comes in many guises:
“Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and, oblivious to what he has discovered, continue on undeterred.”
Kia ora Martyn
Your concept (you call it “fortress New Zealand” though I prefer mana motuhake which strikes a less martial note) can never come to pass under colonialist rule.
No need to weep.
Just face the reality that the colonial regime is bound hand and foot to Anglo-American imperialism which means that the colonialists (a particularly lazy, greedy, and I regret to say it stupid class of petty bourgeois) will always be looking for cheap labour and easy pickings.
Give up your allegiance to the British monarchy, the colonialist parliament, the arch-colonialist Labour Party and its leader Jacinda Ardern.
Stand for te rangatiratanga and te whakaminenga.

100% Bomber. Back on the merri go round again.
The flu does not spread like Omicron at least not at the same rate. We were told to live with the virus when we had more deadly variants floating around like Alpha, Beta and Delta now if we had done what many said and that was to learn to live with it, how many thousands of NZers would have died unnecessary all to open up businesses. And who would have been at the most risks? Maori, PI, our elderly and other NZers with other illnesses. Covid is not the Flu and people need to stop making comparisons.
The World has changed with the experience of covid so it is unlikely things will rapidly revert to the life we had before covid. A relatively high level of temp immigrant labour is needed to get through the sheer amount of seasonal work. We will have to attract many skilled workers and professionals because we will be losing many to Australia now that the gates are open. The Tourism industry is another matter. We can’t and won’t let it go back to the mass bums on seats laissez faire approach.
Now that omicron is running amuck there is little point in all our restrictions ( which are getting to be nonsensical if you know that you are going to get it soon anyway).We are over 95%vaccinated now and the govt has done a great job getting us thus far having saved so many lives. This is as good a time as any for the govt to loosen the reins and start doing something good for the people of NZ (as well as being kind). Time is running out for Jacinda to make good on her election promises. Being kind is not enough to win the next election.
A good summing up of the situation as a realist sees it . Many jobs do not attract NZ workers no matter what the pay many do not like hard work . I do not understand why some are against foreign students . They make money for the schools which is spent on NZ students and local businesses and households clip the ticket for extras.
A sit in at parliament that protests against a return to hyper tourism, exploititive intenational students, migrant labour and foreign land sales, now that is a protest for collective societal good.
Sign me up.
Forget about fortress NZ. It seems that measures everywhere, bar Canada and Oz, are disappearing at an alarming rate. It seems that the system – of control – is now sufficiently developed to ease off the throttle, somewhat, for time being.
Sime regular work for PI is helpful, they like it. We used to have something called the Colombo Plan where we thought about other developing countries. However we have forgotten that we have developed into something a bit uglier, so we need to keep doing a bit for Pacific solidarity such as it is.
