Breakfast with Christopher Luxon and Erica Stanford

04 Nov, 7:00am-8:45am, Howick Club, 107 Botany Road, Botany Downs

It's no secret that many NZ businesses are struggling with an ever-growing list of barriers to productivity.  Rising costs and interest rates, a skills and labour shortage and global factors such as the ongoing impacts of the pandemic on supply chains and the war in Ukraine affecting prices, particularly those for fuel and building materials, are affecting business confidence.

With labour shortages the main barrier to businesses, the current immigration restrictions and bottlenecks are falling well short of addressing the issue.

Bring your team and clients along to our breakfast with Leader of the Opposition and MP for Botany, Christopher Luxon, and Member for East Coast Bays and National Party Spokesperson for Immigration and Education and Associate for Ethnic Communities, Erica Stanford; where they will discuss some of the key pressure points local businesses are facing today, how they plan to tackle them and what their upcoming plans are for our nation should they be elected In 2023.
