Wont these policies ensure employers simply by-pass New Zealanders in favour of cheaper overseas workers?

The Talent Visa policy is about attracting highly skilled people. Highly skilled people do not fall into the low-income bracket. There is a minimum salary of NZ$45,000 per annum attached to this policy to ensure that it cannot be used to bring in cheap labour. Also recruiting overseas is usually costly and research clearly shows that New Zealand employers will, in general, recruit from within New Zealand first. As far as the Priority Occupations policy is concerned, this policy is to help employers recruit in occupations where there are no New Zealanders available. The essential differences from the Work Permit are that the red tape has gone and it has a route to residence.
