Immigration is now under investigation, after claims employers wanting to hire migrant workers under the Accredited Employer scheme aren't being checked properly.
The Immigration Minister, Andrew Little, has asked the Public Service Commission will review the Accredited Employer Work Visa scheme.
A whistleblower sent an anonymous email to Little on Tuesday night, after weeks of reporting by RNZ and other news organisations about migrant workers being exploited through the scheme. Immigration declined to be interviewed, but says it supports a review.
Little spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
