From Richard Bedford on New Zealand’s Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme: 38,000 workers by 2028?
Malo le soifua Toleafoa, thank you for this comment on the debate about numbers of seasonal workers.
I agree with your concern that a more relevant focus for debate is the balance of economic and social costs and returns for New Zealand compared to the Pacific countries in the RSE scheme. This is a matter that was raised in our study of the impact of the RSE scheme in New Zealand and Australia in 2019 (reports available on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's website (https://www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us/research-and-statistics/research-reports/recognised-seasonal-employer-rse-scheme).
One thing we did not explore in that study was the comparative financial costs and returns to the New Zealand Government and the Samoan Government. An interesting graduate research project on this topic has recently been by Oikoumene Maualaivao-Chan Tung entitled: "Who is developing who? An analysis of the financial contribution of the RSE Scheme to the New Zealand and Samoan governments through a Fa'afaletui Pacific lens" (Massey University, Palmerston North).

From Toleafoa Alfred Schuster on New Zealand’s Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme: 38,000 workers by 2028?
I wonder if the continued debate on what are the right numbers of RSE workers, suitable for NZ, is diverting the focus on another set of potentially important numbers, the balance of revenue and economic returns for NZ compared to the Pacific countries in the RSE Scheme.

Thank you, Zechariah, for sharing your story. I am inspired by your perseverance and positive attitude towards life, education and how you manage or overcome the hurdles obstructing your progress. The qualities you possess are associated with highly successful individuals. I am positive that your story will inspire many other young people and parents in similar situations. Like your story, I was also a grade 10 dropout years back, but I am currently studying for a PhD in Public Health Policy at Griffith University, Australia. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you good luck in the remaining months of your undergraduate program at UPNG.
From Robyn Alders on Infectious diseases and One Health: a new research project
Thanks very much Esha for raising this important point. The impact of extreme weather variability associated with climate change is likely to emerge as an issue. Given that you are in Bangladesh, would you like to share how climate change is impacting human, animal and environmental health in your country.
