The Parent Category Visa, which allows migrants to bring over their family members, will be reopened. The previous government closed the category entirely in 2016, however this week it was announced that the category will reopen in February next year - with some changes. Many are criticising the new requirements as discriminatory and favouring the rich.

These include capping the number of visas a year to 1,000 and increasing the financial requirements of the migrant child who must sponsor their parents. While previously a migrant worker would only have to prove an annual income of $65,000 to sponsor one parent, this has been increased to  $106,080 for one parent and $159,120 for two. Or, if you are looking to combine your and your partner’s incomes,  $159,120 for one parent and $212,160 for two. These numbers are based on the median income of  $53,040. 

Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway sez the high salary threshold is to help to attract high-skilled migrants to New Zealand.

I spoke to Tax Barrister Dave Ananth about how he would suggest the scheme be changed, such as by introducing temporary visas. He began by dispelling the myth that all migrant parents are interested in Permanent Residency.

Blind Mango Chutney hosts the show this arvo — his second show in a set of '3 shows in a row' for him.

Blind Mango pays tribute to three recently-passed Jazzers: Kiwi/AUS Pianist Judy Bailey, playing a few more tracks from her rare 1964 album; Latin player Eddie Palmieri; & Lalo Schifrin, highlighting his work with Dizzy Gillespie.

He also hits up some little-heard jazz/rock/classical fusion with a Pink Floyd tinge! Before laying down some sweet, Southern Californian, lounge styles by the Baja Marymba Band — which he pairs to the Menu at San Ray. George Duke also makes an entrance for a spot of funky vocals.

It's all here, beboppers!

DJ Sassy (aka Little Parsnip) assists in the show's supporting role & Hosts the Jazz Gig Guide.

Miss Dom does the 'Pop In'  mid-show joining Blind  Mango & Sassy & Hosts the Vinyl Fair Guide. Plus does a spot of 'What's in Miss Dom's (Vinyl) Bag?' as she plays the B-Side of @thecirclingsun 7-inch Vinyl "Muzi' single titled 'Flora & Fauna.' Dom also pulls out a 'Mahavishnu Orchestra & John McLaughlin' track on 7-inch vinyl —  which sparks some convo. - Blind Mango returns by pulling out a 'super-dope' 7-inch outta his bag by local player Michal Martyniuk titled '3202.

A  record number of texts come through in the studio, including some from listeners in the U.S.A., & Asia. Great vibes, all-round, & generally a rad time had by all.

Til next time Stay Jazzed Folks!

Cheers to our Sponsors, San Ray at 118 Ponsonby Road.
