Now that begs the question to the Prime Minister what does social stability mean? Is that basically you saying we've got too many Indian migrants? Which then begs the question, is National trying to match New Zealand first's anti-Indian rhetoric to avoid losing voters to New Zealand first, which then logically begs the next question, which is is Luxon putting his vote share at the election ahead of New Zealand's need to bring in the workers that we know we need to bring in, right? Because we've been through COVID and we know that we do not do these low-skilled jobs. You need migrants to do them. So I think we should all be very worried about this. I think businesses in New Zealand in particular should be very worried about this. And it begs a final question, which is if this is the position that National has taken, is there now even a single party in Parliament that is looking after New Zealand businesses?
