2017年10月19日,新西兰大选顺利落下帷幕,新西兰工党与优先党及绿党联手共同组成了新一届的新西兰政府。在选举博弈过程中,参加大选的两大阵营分别对就业、移民等核心问题展开了意见对垒。在移民问题上,新西兰各党派的意见出现明显对立,划分为两派。同时,新西兰移民局发布最新的移民政策于2017年8月17日正式开始实行,该项政策的发布也使得“移民”成为新西兰2017~2018年引发讨论最多的话题。本文首先将解读大选对峙中的新西兰两大阵营关于移民政策的不同观点和新西兰政府在移民政策上的新动向。同时,在新西兰社会结构趋向多元化的背景下,来自不同地区的华人新移民大量涌入,新移民在融入当地主流社会的进程中更具优势,在中国和新西兰关系中发挥重要作用。因此新西兰对华移民政策及华人的影响也是本文所要探讨的核心问题之一。
