  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3. Filipinos comprise 1 percent of Filipinos are a vital part of Most Filipinos in New Zealand are New Zealand’s population – the New Zealand’s dairy, healthcare, not Overseas Filipino Workers third largest Asian ethnic group construction, nursing, aged care, (OFW).

  • South Island Infrastructure Investment
    South Island Infrastructure Investment • Rolling out more than $7 billion of investment in transport projects, schools, hospitals and water infrastructure across the South Island. • Commitment to rolling our shovel-ready projects and a pipeline of long-term projects to create certainty for our construction sector. Labour will continue to build on its strong record of investment in infrastructure and roll out more than $7 billion of infrastructure investment in the South Island. Our $7 billion of infrastructure investment in the South Island provides certainty to the regions and employers. This investment will result in long-term job creation and significant economic benefits. In government, we have managed the books wisely. With historically low interest rates, we are able to outline this much-needed investment in infrastructure. This investment is both affordable and the right thing to do. This will not be all of our infrastructure investment in the next term, and we will continue to invest in capital infrastructure for health, housing, transport and local government, as well as other areas. But this provides a pipeline of work that will assist us in recovering from the impacts of COVID-19. The overall infrastructure investment for the South Island includes: • $274.1 million of investment via the New Zealand Upgrade programme for transport projects • $368.72 million from the Provincial Growth Fund • $667 million from the IRG projects • $3.5 billion from the National Land Transport Programme (forecast 2018-2021). • $6 million from the
