That is a similar number to a year ago but without the changes we are making the numbers would fall as visas expire and border restrictions mean limited numbers of new workers are able to come to New Zealand. “With border restrictions in place to keep COVID-19 out, we cannot bring the numbers of migrant workers into New Zealand that many industries have come to rely on, especially for their peak seasons. “Our priority remains to help get New Zealanders into jobs and we encourage employers to continue focusing on longer-term workforce planning, training, and improving wages and conditions to attract a local workforce. “While these changes will allow employers to retain their existing migrant workforce, they will still need to prove that no New Zealanders are available before hiring new employees,” Minister Faafoi said. The changes are: • Employer-assisted work visa holders (and their partners and dependent children) who have a job and whose visas are expiring from January to July 2021 will have their visas automatically extended by another six months. • The stand-down period, during which low-paid Essential Skills visa holders have to leave New Zealand, will be postponed until January 2022. The stand-down period means that Essential Skills visa holders earning less than the median wage (currently $25.50) must leave New Zealand for 12 months after having worked here for three years before they can return. • Immigration New Zealand will continue to use the 2019 median wage of $25.50 per hour for immigration settings until at least July 2021 at which point the median wage will rise to $27 per hour. • Working Holiday visas will be extended for six months, and restrictions will be relaxed on the maximum duration of work permitted, allowing Working Holiday visa holders to continue working in any industry they choose (including horticulture and wine sector roles). Working Holiday makers will no longer be transferred onto a Supplementary Seasonal Employer work visa when their working holiday visa expires. Migrants already on an SSE visa will be able to continue working for the horticulture and wine sectors, or apply for an Essential Skills visa if they find alternative qualifying work.

Registration plates encourage drivers to The Wellington District Road Policing team is using personalised registration plates to encourage drivers to check their speed and slow down heading into the long weekend. As drivers prepared to travel on Wellington Anniversary weekend, Wellington District’s Road Policing team wanted to remind drivers to slow down and drive to the conditions. Speed is the single biggest determinant in whether someone walks away from a serious road crash or is carried away. Less speed means less harm. The message of the SLOWDN plates is simple – slow down – and it is extremely effective when seen by drivers. “If we can slow people down, we are giving them a far better chance of arriving alive,” says Peter McKennie, Acting National Manager Road Policing. Our role is prevention and enforcement and our staff www.migrantnews.nz : New Zealand’s first MULTICULTURAL newspaper featuring immigration and settlement news since 1991. SLOWDN Speed is the single biggest determinant in whether someone walks away from a serious road crash or is carried away. Less speed means less harm. are out every day and night encouraging drivers to behave responsibly on the roads to ensure they and other road users arrive alive. “Travelling at a safer speed that is suitable for the conditions enables drivers to respond safely if something unexpected happens.” Wellington Road Policing Manager Inspector Wade Jennings says anything we can do to reduce road trauma and get the message through to drivers is worth it. “The personalised plates provide another way to promote safer roads,” he says. Wellington’s Road Policing team got the idea after seeing the personalised plate FIREYZ – Fire Wise – on a crash-attending fire truck. SLOWDN was decided to be the best message to change driver attitudes and behaviours towards speed. Speed is a contributing factor to a third of fatal crashes. Road Policing teams throughout New Zealand will continue to focus on making a difference to RIDS - restraints (seatbelts and child safety seats), impairment (alcohol, drugs and fatigue), distractions (including mobile use), and speed. Police partners with Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) and the Ministry of Transport to deliver the Road to Zero Strategy for 2020- 2030(link is external). It sets out our vision for a New Zealand where no one is killed or seriously injured in road crashes. JOB BOARD www.asia2nz.com Job seekers: check out this popular JOB BOARD for new job vacancies.
