Karl Dean: Federated Farmers employment spokesperson on ACT's proposed daily surcharge on temporary work visas

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

ACT's newly released immigration policy includes a $6 daily levy on temporary work visas to help fund infrastructure.  Federated Farmers employment spokesperson Karl Dean joined Mike Hosking to chat about the proposed changes and how they would impact our farming and agricultural industries.  "We struggle to get skilled migrants now, they look at Australia, they look at Canada, they choose those over New Zealand. This is another barrier," Dean said.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
