Immigration and Workforce Shortages w/ Shane Reti, August 23, 2022

The National Party has been claiming that the workforce shortages New Zealand is seeing is a result of mismanaged immigration policy.

This week, to address the workforce shortages, the government announced that skilled migrant workers will be able to be payed under the median wage, as well as a doubling of the working holiday scheme cap and an extension to currently held working holiday visas.

For Casper's weekly catchup with National MP Dr. Shane Reti, he asked him to explain what he thinks needs to happen regarding immigration policy, as well as how he views this latest announcement.
