Labour's immigration policy is unchanged following negotiations with NZ First, Jacinda Ardern has revealed.
In an interview with The Nation on Saturday morning, when asked where the "sweet spot" was in the contentious issue, the Prime Minister-elect said: "You'll see Labour's policy remains absolutely unchanged as a result of these negotiations."
Under that policy, Labour estimates net migration will fall by 20,000 to 30,000 a year, mostly by limiting the number of people granted student and work visas. (In the year to June 2017, net migration was 72,305.)
NZ First campaigned on reducing net migration to just 10,000 people per year.
