Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to grant a six month extension for Working Holiday Visa (WHV) holders who are already located in New Zealand.
Petition reason
I think that the prospect of an anticipated labour shortage in some industries (e.g. horticulture, viticulture and animal husbandry) could be reduced by WHV holders; and, WHV holders in the country provide more purchasing power (to support NZ businesses in terms of consumption).
