So - which work visas will Andrew Little cut?
Just one of the badly researched and unfeasible promises Andrew Little made: He promised to cut more work visas than are issued every year:

What Andrew Little is proposing
He told The AM Show’s Duncan Garner that he wants annual net migration to be between 20-25,000 people. In the year to February 2017, net migration was 71,333, so to achieve his target he needs to cut back the number of immigrants by between 46,333 - 51,333. He says the bulk of those cutbacks will come from the work visa category.
Breaking down the latest immigration figures
The key figure to show immigration inflow is what’s called "net migration".
In the year to February 2017 it was 71,333 people - roughly the same size as the population of New Plymouth.
This figure is calculated by subtracting the number of permanent and long term departures (57,483) from the number of permanent and long-term arrivals (128,816).
In order for Andrew Little to achieve his target, he needs to cull at least 46,333 visas.
This couldn’t be done by abolishing all 43,025 work visas. But it gets even more difficult than that.
So - he must plan to issue a negative number of work visas - LOL
Just wondering EZ, whether you can sort out this mess? I guess it must be embarrassing to have a candidate who is incapable of even doing simple math. Though at second thoughts ... having an incompetent leader might be the other thing Labour have in common with the GoP :p?
