GEORGINA BEYER (Labour-Wairarapa): It is a pleasure to take a call on the third reading of the Immigration Amendment Bill (No 2). I begin by acknowledging the Hon Lianne Dalziel for the courage and commitment it has taken for this particular Minister to step up to the mark and deal with the vexed issues of immigration in this country. What she has put out there for us to consider, and which has been debated over the past hours, has been controversial in the arguments that have been put from across the House. Suffice to say that this bill will bring greater clarity, and certainty I might add, to migrants coming to New Zealand hoping that their skills and the intelligence that they bring to share with this nation are matched more certainly towards job opportunities in skills shortage areas we have in this country. That is at least one provision in this particular legislation that is good for New Zealanders and good for migrants who are coming here. I conclude by saying again that compliments and credit should be given to this Minister for facing the tough issues.
