David Seymour: On Immigration being out of Control in New Zealand

David Seymour joins Duncan Garner to discuss why he believes New Zealand’s immigration system has become a "no questions asked" residency machine. With around one in eight working-aged Kiwis on a benefit, David explains ACT's plan to introduce a five-year welfare stand-down for new residents to ensure arrivals are here to contribute from day one. We get into the details of the proposed $6-a-day infrastructure levy aimed at funding new schools and hospitals to keep up with our growing population. David doesn't hold back on the "accredited employer" scheme, pointing out that thousands of fast-food workers have been granted entry while the system claims to only target the highly skilled. Duncan also pushes David on whether these policies are an attempt to "eat Winston’s lunch" and asks about the social cohesion issues facing Auckland as demographics shift rapidly. Plus, we take a look at the media's handling of recent political scandals and why the public is losing trust in the mainstream narrative.
