Robertson said he understood the need was pressing. The Government was bringing 500 people a fortnight into New Zealand through managed isolation facilities, and although it had started with registered seasonal employees and students, it was working on skilled migrants next, he said. Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor was in talks with Federated Farmers and DairyNZ to help ease labour supply challenges for farmers, Robertson said. The trans-Tasman bubble had freed up space in managed isolation facilities, he said, and with fewer people wanting to travel to New Zealand in the winter months, there would be more space available from migrant workers.

Oaks win would be heavenly for Moroney Trainer Michael Moroney has an eye on another South Australian Group 1 win with Tokorangi in Saturday’s Schweppes Oaks at Morphettville. AAP Image : James Ross.
Flemington trainer Mike Moroney is always happy to take horses to Adelaide for Group 1 races.
Moroney won his first Australian Group 1 race in Adelaide when Our Heavenly Body won the South Australian Oaks in 1989. That win was well before Moroney made a permanent move to Australia and more than a decade before the trainer’s Melbourne Cup triumph with Brew.
The South Australian Oaks since dropped to Group 3 level but Moroney will have a crack at Saturday’s Group 1 Schweppes Oaks with the $11 chance Tokorangi.
