Mark RonRON MARK (Deputy Leader—NZ First): Well it is really interesting is it not listening to Mr Joyce's speech: Go to west Auckland go here go there go everywhere." Mr Joyce if the rural New Zealanders are doing exactly what you think they are doing—prospering and doing well—we think you should go to Woodville Masterton Dannevirke Porangahau and Pongaroa. I tell you what rural New Zealand will tell you Mr Joyce; they will tell you to go to hell because it is not wonderful out there. It is tough and other places are not wonderful.It is not wonderful within the immigration service is it? It is not wonderful on the Government benches when it comes to looking at immigration. Yesterday the Rt Hon Winston Peters was highlighting to this House that in October last year Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment—Steven Joyce's little birth child—investigator Theodore Ashton found that thousands of approved residence applications prior to October 2016 could be in error because of fraudulent English testing—fraud. In November 2015 Nigel Bickle deputy chief executive of Immigration New Zealand said that on a test sample of—get this listen up Government—95 out of 98 visa applications applicants were not asked for any evidence that they met the minimum English proficiency test and it goes on and on.But wait there is more. When we come back to this question of unskilled migrant workers what did we see the Government do last week? It announced a revamp—it announced the tightening-up and changes—but then last week it backtracked on changing immigration rules to rein in immigration numbers as New Zealand's net migration numbers continued to skyrocket to 73000 in the last year. So the Government announced that $49000 of income would be the threshold—and then it cut it down to $41000. Why? To retain an extra 6000 to 7000 unskilled migrant workers. So the Government is tinkering around the edges trying to deal with the problem of net migration and it announces a sensible policy and then—on the back of some pressure from employer lobby groups which want to prop up unprofitable businesses and want to continue to exploit cheap migrant labour—it does a backflip.Well we know in New Zealand First that this has been going on for years and years and years under this Government especially in the area of low-skilled jobs such as those in hospitality restaurants cafes retail rest homes labouring and fruit picking. I have got to tell you just last week I had anecdotal evidence of a courier operation in Taupō where a low-skilled migrant is working for $3 an hour but nice and neatly using the employment laws to circumvent that by having a contract—on the promise of residency down the line. This Government has been told time and time and time again of these corrupt and fraudulent practices and—dare we say it—abuse of migrant workers. But it still continues to ignore it.So what is New Zealand First telling you we are going to do after the election when we are in Government? We will slash unskilled temporary migrant workers—currently running at 185000. We will reinstate that $41000 threshold. Extending work rights to student visas 165000 of them and the associated rorting of the international school system being used as a de facto unskilled work visa and pathway to residency—we will smash that. Family reunion for unskilled workers—we will slash that. Restrictions on parent advisory category—we will do that. And the Government's own reports that show that family sponsors have been abandoning their elderly to burden New Zealand's very generous health and welfare system—oh we are going to deal to that as well.It is absolutely appalling that this Government continues to preside over immigration policy and immigration rules that are killing this country and worst of all allowing migrant workers to be abused. That is not going to continue."
