Pollies: Labour's Megan Woods and National's Mark Mitchell on the latest net migration figures
Calls for a mature conversation on our immigration settings. Latest Stats NZ data shows a gain of 128,900 migrants in the year to October. Prime Minister Chris Luxon has said our record net migration gain is unsustainable when it comes to housing and infrastructure. Labour's Megan Woods told Mike Hosking that it's time to stop using it as a political football. She says we've got to ensure we're meeting demand for housing and infrastructure for all migrants that move here and make it a good place to settle. But National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking that we've also got to make sure businesses have got access to skilled workers to grow the economy, without displacing Kiwis.
