TOP strongly believes in investing in education and training for New Zealanders. They would likely support measures to prepare citizens for high-skilled jobs, potentially reducing the need for high-skilled immigrant workers. However, they also recognize the value of these workers, so they may not fully support a decrease in the number of temporary work visas.

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

Slightly agree

I am satisfied with the current amount

Disagree

Decrease
