Prime Minister Chris Hipkins began his first full day on the job by meeting with members of the Auckland business community.
Hipkins attended a gathering in Auckland Central, where he spoke to a set of business leaders to address their current concerns.
Barry Soper, ZB's senior political correspondent says that business owners were primarily concerned with the labour shortage, with restaurants and hospitality suffering the most.
Barry Soper also suggests that the Prime Ministers' statements from today indicate immigration regulations could be relaxed in the coming months.
