David Cooper: Immigration director slams Government after revelation only one person approved for specialist investor visa

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

An immigration director is slamming the Government after revelations only one person has been approved for the specialist investor visa. The policy launched last September, hoping to bring investors to the country, to boost post-pandemic economic prosperity. Newshub reports the person already lived in New Zealand. Malcolm Pacific Immigration Director David Cooper told Mike Hosking the Government failed to fund proper research into the policy. He says investments were already being made outside of the visa, creating jobs, and getting money to flow into the country. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
