The Conservative Party says immigration rules should not bring in large numbers of unskilled workers from overseas, especially when many young New Zealanders are already out of work. They also say people who come to New Zealand should adopt New Zealand's way of life, and that attempts to divide people by race should be resisted.
“Immigration settings which do not encourage the import of unskilled foreign labour at a time of high youth unemployment.”
“New Zealand has a long history of unity and mutual respect; attempts to divide us by race are to be resisted; newcomers should follow our way of life.”
“Tax settings which encourage young Kiwis to stay and work in New Zealand.”
