Calls for a mature conversation on our immigration settings.

Latest Stats NZ data shows a gain of 128,900 migrants in the year to October.

Prime Minister Chris Luxon has said our record net migration gain is unsustainable when it comes to housing and infrastructure.

Labour's Megan Woods told Mike Hosking that it's time to stop using it as a political football.

She says we've got to ensure we're meeting demand for housing and infrastructure for all migrants that move here and make it a good place to settle.

But National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking that we've also got to make sure businesses have got access to skilled workers to grow the economy, without displacing Kiwis.

There are hopes a hospitality Action Plan will dish up more coherent regulation.

Ministers are now deciding what recommendations to keep from the Ministry for Regulation's completed review.

It highlights areas hindering food and drink operators, including alcohol licensing, high fees, and too many regulators.

Hospitality New Zealand CEO Kristy Phillips told Mike Hosking current rules are inconsistent across the country.

She says bringing it to one department will mean more gets done.

There's a view Canterbury's economic growth can't all be put down to the earthquakes. 

The Herald's Project Canterbury report, out today, looks at the businesses, civic leaders, infrastructure providers, and investors driving the region's growth. 

ChristchurchNZ CEO Ali Adams told Mike Hosking the region has natural advantages helping fuel growth in sectors like aerospace and dark sky tourism, with an international airport just 20 minutes from the city. 

But she says things like a health precinct came from the earthquakes, and has been pivotal for the city attracting companies. 

But with plenty of room to grow further, the region is expecting some growing pains. 

Adams told Hosking attracting skilled workers will be the next challenge. 

She says there's amazing tertiary institutions in the region, but the sectors of growth rely on people studying science, technology, engineering, and maths, and that's dropping off.

Tourism New Zealand's shifting gears with a new campaign, with a specific group in mind. 

It's launched its new Don't be a Stranger campaign, targeting Kiwis' friends and relatives across the UK, Canada, and Australia.  

This cohort spent a total of $2.6 billion visiting this country in the year to June.  

Tourism New Zealand's Brodie McLeish told Mike Hosking they're trying to find different levers they can use. 

She says about 93% of Australians see their campaigns, so they're going after a different audience this time.
