NZRP Impact Consideration

Adam Irish made this Official Information request to Kris Faafoi

The request was successful.

From: Adam Irish

Dear Kris Faafoi,

I request under the Official Information Act if the government when deciding the new New Zealand Residence Programme targets will consider the following impacts:

- Total population growth and the immigration rates impact on the availability and cost of housing for New Zealand citizens and recent migrants
- Cost on healthcare, superannuation, and education (including the gain of tertiary study government subsidies) from principal applicants and their dependents
- The substitution impact of employers not needing to train Kiwis for positions that are being filled by migrants
- The impact of future automation technology that will cause significant job and opportunity loss and how having a smaller population may be beneficial
- The impact on wages, unions and the labour market from having more people
- The impact on social mobility of the domestic population
- The impact of population growth on climate change and our natural environment.
- Will the NZRP consider migration and population growth in light of the recommendations from the Climate Change Commission's advice to government.

I have gone through the current cabinet paper and there does not appear to be any consideration to these matters to date https://www.mbie.govt.nz/dmsdocument/457...

Yours faithfully,

Adam

Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Kris Faafoi, thank you for your email. 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
personally reply to all emails.  As such, the following guidelines apply:

·        Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course

·        All media queries will be responded to by a staff member

·        Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency

·        If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you

Thank you for the taking the time to write.

Nga mihi,
