So I understand how New Zealanders feel.

That was a disaster, but I want New Zealanders to know we have massively tightened that up.

I have gripped up the portfolio.

I've put in English language,

We are more fairly associating costs through levies on migrants.

We've already done that.

We are much harsher on acceptable standards of health and much harsher on, hey, you need to have skill, you need to have English language, and you need to be a net benefit to New Zealand.

This fluctuation has occurred many times, has made me really sick and tired.

We really don't know who's in charge in Turban.

We are just curious to know who is deciding over our destiny.

Many people's holidays will be affected either because of flight cancellations or very, very expensive tickets.

What we're trying to do is...

Do as much as we can to prevent that that happens.

But even if we do everything we can, if the jet fuel is not there, it's not there.

I could never tell.

Morning, Mark.

I remember saying to the media, if we had about 200 applications in the first year, I'd be happy.

Obviously, we've completely blown that out of the water.

And it's not just the scale of this, when you think about the $4 billion, it's the impact for individual businesses around New Zealand that this is having, not just the capital, but also the skills and experience that these people are bringing into the country.

No, those are being approved in principle.
