I understand Samoa has or is about to suspend it’s RSE for now as it’s badly affecting their society e.g. teachers can go to RSE and earn more leaving Samoa without skilled people. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. Unfortunately we can’t do that with Australia. I understand Queenstown has no cheap housing for its hospitality workers so more immigration won’t help that

Thanks Duncan. I'd welcome any links you've got on that Samoa/RSE decision. Very interesting. Cheers.
