Immigration Forum

Press Release: Hutt City Council
Immigration Minister Lianne Dalziel will be the key note
speaker at an immigration forum, to be held on Tuesday 28
August at the Little Theatre.
Other speakers include Hutt
City's Mayor John Terris, Wellington City Councillor Alick
Shaw and Exicom's David Haynes.
Hutt City Mayor John
Terris said attracting skilled migrants was a key issue for
Hutt City.
"If we are to grow and thrive as a city then we
need to look at all options and remain focused on finding
ways to keep our economy invigorated and growing," said
Mayor Terris.
The issue of immigration was first raised at
the Mayors Forum back in May and grew out of a realisation
that the Wellington region has been about average compared
with the rest of New Zealand in its attempts to attract
overseas migrants.
Forum participants will be asked to
consider three questions in focus group
discussions:
1. What strategies can be put in place to
improve the connection between a potential migrant and a job
in the region?
2. What can we do to make the Wellington
region more attractive to migrants?
3. What role does
education play in attracting migrants?
It is intended that
a discussion paper will be released following the
forum.

Spotify has to be one of the most interestingly futile mouse-wheels of 21st century capitalism. Run, run, run goes the Spotify mouse but it never, ever makes a profit. For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
