GEORGINA BEYER (Labour-Wairarapa): I rise to take a brief call in support of the first reading of this bill. One can be surprised that Mr Peters supports the consideration of over 10,000 applications, even when we know they are from people who will not get proposed or skilled jobs. The bill enables the lapsing of applications, so that we can protect those skilled applicants who have offers of skilled jobs and who will do very well here. May I just finally add as a parting comment that with the collective IQ of the Labour caucus we know, having tested the nation, that we are right.
