09:05 Changes to skilled immigration policy
Immigrants from the UK, Europe and South Africa who've been living and working in New Zealand, often for years, say they are being booted out of the country because of the recession and changes to skill shortages.
Last month Immigration New Zealand's 'essential skills' approach to issuing work visas was narrowed, with 44 kinds of jobs culled from the list of immediate needs.
The changes are prompting negative headlines overseas, with British newspapers the Telegraph and the Daily Mail declaring that British expats are being kicked out because of the financial crisis.
