Last one to leave NZ ….

[Balance]

Remember how arrogant this Labour government was last year about tens of thousands of potential skilled and qualified migrants were waiting to beat a door to NZ?

So NZ can afford to be very selective and tight with immigration policies?

Well, here's where that arrogance has landed NZ :

https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/progr...early-8-months

"An immigration service set up by Health New Zealand in October still has not recruited any overseas GPs almost eight months later. Te Whatu Ora's International Recruitment Centre aims to make it "as easy as possible" for international health professionals to move to Aoteroa."

Not a sausage, not one!

Meanwhile, because of the shortage of health workers, Aotearoa’s 15 kidney dialysis units are operating in a “crisis situation,” struggling to cope with growing numbers of patients, too few treatment areas and chronic under-staffing, a report has found.

Basically, health professionals/workers are leaving NZ while few healthcare migrants are prepared to come to NZ's racist, underfunded and under pressure healthcare system.

Leave NZ to the parasites, beneficiaries and losers bred so very prolifically and efficiently by this useless Labour government.

And leave it to you, to spend what feels like 24/7, regurgitating the same, never-ending, monotonous narrative. You really need to expand your vocabulary. PM me your address and I'll send you a thesaurus.

Continue to close your eyes and ears, JAK, to what is really happening out there.

You are getting the NZ you wanted when you voted in the deceitful and useless Cindy.

Enjoy!

You are completely missing the point Balance. I am perfectly capable of seeing it for myself. I simply don’t need you pointing it out every minute of the day. Just let people work it out for themselves and form their own conclusions. You are literally never going to change anyone’s mind when it comes to politics. You are wasting your time and breath if you think otherwise.

You will be surprised how many minds are being changed, JAK.

White middle class NZers will determine the outcome of this October's election - not the Maori/Pacifica votes which are with the left.

You BTW do not belong to that class.

I don’t have an issue with a select group of highly skilled immigrants coming here, but 100,000+ people per year incoming when we aren’t building the complementary hospitals, schools, wastewater services etc just doesn’t make sense. Many of these people end up bringing their elderly parents who haven’t contributed one dollar to infrastructure here and will no doubt have all the health issues that go along with old age. Right now we need more immigrant nurses and doctors and teachers to medically treat & school the parents and children of immigrants. Make it make sense.
While the government can easily bring in over 100,000 new people a year they have no incentive to get anyone off ‘Job Seeker’. We are perpetuating the mistakes of the past, we are perpetuating the policies that lead to New Zealand becoming a low wage economy. The government needs to stop doing the lazy and convenient but stupid things that gave us an overloaded health system, clogged and pot holed roads, and a housing crisis.

I agree with 100% but the horse (so to speak) has well and truly bolted on attracting skilled migrants to NZ. They are all going to Australia, US, Canada and UK where rewards are much much higher and they can get residence.

Meanwhile, skilled NZers are leaving!

NZ had a unique opportunity during the pandemic to allow in skilled migrants but that opportunity was squandered by this government.

Now NZ is allowing in 'unskilled' migrants like bus drivers, Tyre fitters, beauticians etc - because the 100,000 on the jobseekers' benefits are happy to continue to not work.

Watch as the flow of skilled NZers to Australia become a flood if white middle class NZers do not wake up to save NZ from this divisive and clueless Labour government.

Met up recently with my doctor friend (specialist in his field) on his skiing holiday in Queenstown (who practises in Queensland) and he commented how he regularly now sees more and more NZers joining the healthcare sector there.

Last one to leave .....

You are right. I don’t. I belong to the lazy, good for nothing, parasitic class that you love to condemn.

You BTW do not belong to that class.

You belong to that class of NZers who are hard working, resilient, well meaning and honourable but misguided - lured by false promises and words rather than deeds.

Every reason for skilled and professional young white middle class NZers to migrate to Australia.
