28888 (2023). Hon Phil Twyford to the Minister of Immigration: What actions, if any, does the Minister intend to take to “change Accredited Employer Work Visas for agriculture to create a path to residency and eliminate the median wage requirement to allow wages in line with local workers”, as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Getting Back to Farming’ document?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am in the process of receiving and considering advice from officials and working through my priorities. The Government’s priorities are set out in the National, ACT and NZ First coalition agreements.
