Woodhouse, Key shrug off Labour's migrant comments

Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse is shrugging off Labour's approach to migrants.

Party leader Andrew Little's come under fire for his comments on immigrant chefs taking up jobs -- although he's now suggesting his statements have been misconstrued.

Michael Woodhouse says there isn't a problem for Labour to fix.

"There is a need for hospitality workers in a growing tourism sector, and the other thing to bear in mind is that there are far fewer residents' visas being granted than there were under the previous Labour government."

Prime Minister John Key says he doesn't understand where Labour is going on immigration.
