Asia Pacific Migration Research Network (APMRN) Migration Issues in the Asia Pacific ISSUES PAPER FROM AOTEAROA/NEW ZEALAND A. A Critical Political Issue In March 1996, during another election year, immigration again surfaced as an issue. The minority New Zealand First party is campaigning to shut the door, especially on migrants who do not seem to be serious about settling in New Zealand. Asian immigration is now the target (Heeringa 1996; Legat 1996). The Waikato Times captured the essence of contemporary media rhetoric in its feature headline on March 6: ‘NZ’s Asian Immigrants: Investors or Invaders?’ Once again net migration is approaching the 30,000 mark—for the first time since 1974. Current policy, which is based on a ‘points system’ introduced in November 1991, focuses on target numbers of approvals for entry. Immigration can be rapidly adjusted in line with government policy, or indeed political sensitivities, as one issue or another is seen to gain public approval or opposition. The contribution which international migration is making to the growing ethno-cultural diversity of New Zealand’s population is a matter of considerable public interest and concern particularly given the liberalisation of policy since the late 1980s (see Ongley 1996). More than a year ago, the Minister of Immigration called for ‘a debate in New Zealand on what should be the optimum levels of immigration and population’ ( New Zealand Herald , 24 February 1995, p. 1). There has been little informed comment on this complex question or indeed sustained and detailed research, despite extensive media coverage of immigration (Heeringa 1996; Legat 1996).
