26859 (2023). Hon Phil Twyford to the Minister of Immigration: Is the Minister confident that they will be able to achieve the Government’s commitment to "enforcement and action to ensure those found responsible for the abuse of migrant workers face appropriate consequences" as outlined in the National Party and New Zealand First coalition agreement in light of commitments to reduce back-office staff in the public sector?

Hon Erica Stanford: I have received a briefing from MBIE on the immigration portfolio and I am looking forward to receiving further briefings from senior MBIE officials on the policies outlined in the National Party Manifesto and agreements between the National Party and its coalition partners.
