Request One.

 1. The criteria for determining if someone is ‘trainable’ for the
occupation “Dairy Cattle Farm Worker” or similar?
 2. The number of New Zealanders who were identified as available for

2020, with a breakdown by region?
 3. The total number of applications received via the Work and Income

31 March 2020 with an explanation for those considered unsuitable?

 

Request Two.

 4. The number of New Zealanders identified as suitable and/or trainable
for the occupation “Fruit Picker” since 31 March 2020, broken down by
region.
 5. The criteria used to determine if someone is suitable and/or trainable
in this context.
 6. The number of applications received via the Work & Income Online Job
