These border exceptions will go a long way towards relieving those pressures," O'Connor said. "With the new dairy season kicking off last week, migrant dairy farm workers will supplement the domestic workforce and provide critical support. The Government had previously approved exceptions for vets, along with shearers and rural mobile plant machinery operators to relieve workforce pressures, O'Connor said. "These new border exceptions will help drive New Zealand's economic recovery from Covid-19," Damien O'Connor said.
