Canterbury College international school in Christchurch, which lost staff member Haroon Mahmood in the shootings, backed a call by former immigration minister Tuariki Delamere for victims and their families to be given automatic residency. College director Sueanne Wong said: "We too call on the Government to initiate and declare this now. There has been enough suffering by these innocents without the anxiety of not knowing about their imminent future. To do otherwise would be cruel and negligent. "'They are us' has been universally accepted as true. We should make that official as soon as possible," she said in a statement. Lees-Galloway said the issue of automatic residency was being considered. "There are a number of matters that have been raised by these unprecedented events. We're turning our mind to all of these issues," he said today. Any decisions would be announced in the near future. Delamere, in an open letter to Lees-Galloway, suggested residency should be granted to all affected families which had already applied and it should be offered to those who had not yet done so. He and most New Zealanders believed the people killed in the attacks died as New Zealanders. "To not offer the victims' families the grant of residence will just give the murderer another reason to celebrate his evil," Delamere said. Many of the 50 people killed were foreign nationals with families here on temporary visas. Migrants from Malaysia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, India, Jordan, Saudi Arabia are believed to be among those killed, injured or missing.

The move has been lauded by Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Iain Lees-Galloway. "On a 40-hour work week, this means an extra $48 a week before tax," he said. "This will make a real difference to low-income workers." This increase will pave the way for further increases in the minimum wage, according to Mr Lees-Galloway. "Lifting the incomes of Kiwi workers will contribute to improved living standards and reduce poverty. Our Government has committed to increasing the minimum wage to $20 by 2021." Starting-out and training wages will also increase on Monday to $14.16 per hour to keep them at 80 per cent of the adult minimum wage.
