The real beneficiaries of this system of indentured labour are often the biggest companies in New Zealand. We know that all the hotel chains rely on temporary labour. SkyCity uses them extensively as do all the big fast food chains.
The business media is all in an excited state over the fact that the headline growth rate for the New Zealand economy is going to around 3.5% for the year ending June.

We could start building such communities in Auckland today. Auckland city has thirteen golf courses. Just one of those in Remuera is 41 hectares of land in a prime central city location. It is occupied by a private club for a token rental that amounts to a fee subsidy of around $11,000 a year for each of its 1400 members.
