It is the right URL but for some reason not working as a web link in the forum. Works if you copy and paste into web address bar.

Re: Attempt to solve the chronic shortage of skilled labour
Politicians can always spin a story . They either say "we need more people" or they say "Immigration is pushing house prices and infrastructure resources to breaking point". We've had the skills shortage list (including the Canterbury Rebuild list) for a number of years now but its still bloody hard to attract the necessary people and provide suitable jobs, accommodation, transport, etc etc.
