"Anti-Asian immigration campaigner and New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is suspicious of the new target."
quoted from the article, paragraph 10th is quite scary I must say.... |

I cant see it going below 140 myself, as that would almost defeat the object of the points system would it not?
We can only manage 120 with 2 job offers Moorf, you are not alone. |

120 for me too. politics will dominate. on the one hand there is this anti-asian business. on the other hand immigrants boost the economy and there's an election next year. govt has changed rules to keep out non-english speakers (satisfies anti-asian people) and is now hell-bent on getting immigrants in to keep employers and house owners happy. house prices keep rising making people feel better off. 120 is realistic within a few months becaues it will help govt win the next election. |
