Dawn Chorus: Migrant quotas linked to building consents?

Leaked docs suggest migration 'rebalancing' will link work visas to building consents and make it harder for low-skilled workers to bring in family; Half of country in 'shadow' lockdown in red setting

TLDR & TLDL: Aotearoa New Zealand’s new migration settings are expected to see quotas for lower-skilled work visas that are linked to building consents in a type of shadow population growth policy. See more on the scoop from Dileepa Fonseka below the paywall fold and in the podcast above.

Elsewhere, there’s more on what the Government needs to change to kick-start build-to-rent and signs of a ‘shadow’ lockdown emerging for half the country during the red setting.

Later today, I’ll be covering the post-Cabinet news conference. I welcome suggestions for questions from paid subscribers below.
