What's a Pinoy ? Call me ignorant, but that sounds like a type of wine grape to me. And why not Brazilians - please enclose a picture of yourself in a thong bikini...

ElM, there's no labour shortage in New Zealand. Labour shortages are solved instantly by offering more money. What the whiners about labour shortages mean is that they used to be able to hire a plumber for $20 an hour but now have to pay $50 an hour [or something]. If $1000 an hour was offered for all jobs, there'd be no shortage. Of course people earning $50 an hour would find they can't afford the plumber. That's not a labour shortage, it's them needing to upgrade their skills and get a real job. We do not need a bunch of immigrants of limited value. Mqurice
