Immigration, especially unskilled immigration, will be cut by 20-30 thousand-as was Labour's policy.

You don't think NZ First's addition to the coalition will change that at all?

Media reports have suggested that the immigration cuts are towards Labour's lower cuts rather than NZ First's more stringent ones.

Well Labour's plans wouldn't have been implemented under a National government, and while we can't be sure, National were not as keen to cut immigration so if they'd gone with National immigration levels would likely be higher than them going with Labour. Also, one of the reasons NZ First did go with Labour is because they have more in common on policy and there were less gaping gaps on policy like there were between NZ First and National.
