March has been a strange and interesting month with various reports relating to immigration contradicting each other. It was reported that NZ recorded the highest annual immigration in more than 5 years and the reason given was that fewer Kiwis headed overseas (Dom Post 02/030). Other articles reported that departures to Australia are on the rise again (NZH 02/03) and that the number of immigrants arriving in NZ slows down (NBR 19/03). Interesting!
Telecom remains to have issues with its XT outage and is very busy defending it self and in finding solutions while Vodafone is trying to get upset and angry Telecom clients.
Immigration New Zealand introduced new policies, the co-called retirement policies. My initial comments are as to how are Chinese applicants going to transfer funds to INZ and why would UK applicants come to NZ as they receive on arrival a 6 months visitor visa? Why invest funds in NZ and keep it invested for minimum 3 years when your application under the family category is being assessed? So, what will the uptake be on these categories, or are these policies just introduced so National could tick it of as one of the election promises completed? Please also refer to our news articles.
A trial has started in the Napier District Court for a Havelock North company director facing 11 charges under the Immigration Act while  a former Immigration Service head MAT will be sentenced today after pleading guilty to fraud.
The housing market appears to stabilise, employment market looks a little bit better despite the redundancies in various government departments and oil prices are increasing through controlled production in the oil states.
See you all next month.
