New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has attacked the Australian government's policy of deporting convicted criminals who were born overseas, declaring it "corrosive" to the relationship between the two nations.
Tough talking: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was not afraid to take on Scott Morrison at the latter's official Sydney residence.Ms Ardern said while many of those deported might have been born in New Zealand, they had lived most of their lives in Australia and had no connections in their country of origin."I have heard countless cases of individuals who on any common-sense test identify as Australians," Ms Ardern said.
Actually, Jacinta, it is beneficial to the residents of Australia who want to live a quiet peaceful existence.
How about adding some context to that headline? I.e deporting people who grew up here with no connection to NZ!
Go back home and herd the sheep.
Bite my tongue, cut off my right arm, I have to agree with SloMo. If you come to Aus, at some time thereafter (10yrs, 15 yrs, 20 yrs) you should become a citizen. If not, suffer the consequences. This is how America dealt with the Mafia and mobsters in days gone by. Nothing new.
CAN SHE PLEASE COME AND BE OUR PM I LOVE HER the only person who could save us from Scomo
Ardern's grand standing & toxic desire to attack a goverment who manage a country where most states are bigger in both population & area then her whole country, is the only thing corroding relations between us! She does not have the right nor power to dictate terms to Australia!
How bout you worry about your own country? And you’ve deported over a 1000 people yourself.
Perhaps she should be more worried about her country breeding upstanding citizens and the problem might go away
This is Australia not New Zealand, take your trash home. If they are well behaved want to work and benefit from the Australian tax purse then become a citizen. New Zealand really has little benefit to Australia besides history.
If New Zealand wants more tax.. they should attract more population. Not increase the tax on the few people they have.
Ahh.. technically speaking PM Jacinda Ardern.. the reason they are deported back to your country.. is because they are from your country! You made them what they are. We don't need them, if they are a nuisance here.. so off they go back home...luggage the lot. What's the problem?
Now ...wouldn't you think the Kiwis, would want their own back! Considering their population numbers.. most of whom are coming to the east coast of Australia..
Morrison is a lousy pm and we only now realise as dishonest as they come.
She's right.....and I'm Australian....this is an insulting tactic by Aussie gov't to all our intelligences!
I'm disgusted by Australian government deporting New Zealanders who've lived in Australia most of their lives back to New Zealand. This indicates the level of immaturity of our Australian government & desperation to win votes!
Hey
That means even you are an Australian citizen, but born overseas, you maybe deportded
Morrison pandering to the redneck vote again, he'll never end the dog-whistling to the likes of backward-looking Queenslanders and Hanson voters
They were your problem first....send them home!!
Let’s just get it over with and Make NZ out 8th state. Then Jacinta can report to Scomo 😂
Bad luck Jacinta. Keep your own criminals.
There crimes are not our problems if they weren’t committed in our country. Sorry Minister Arden but I disagree with you on this one! We do not need more criminals here
elliemail Hear Hear.
Well, if she didn’t send her problems to us in the first place then we wouldn’t be having this convo, would we?
Don't forget Jacinda that ScoMo is God's representative on earth, or so he thinks, poor deluded fool!
If they're not Australian citizens then they're aliens. 9NewsAUS 7NewsAustralia
It is hard to believe that nobody gets it: TOGETHER Australia and New Zealand are STRONGER! We should be in an EU-style UNION. This petty internal bickering is for the bush leagues. Join up! Get strong!
Jacinda Ardern is one of the most progressive leaders in the « western » world. NZ you are so lucky!
Why is it corrosive?
Great example of rationality and irrationality over nationality.
Not going to be in charge much longer. Who cares
They disrespected our laws and are not Australian so therefore being removed so they are no longer a problem for Australians.
Y should we not depart them? Those who object what criminals to stay here. Y do we need to import them, after all the other country exported these criminals to us to commit the crime. They can have them back. Sharing is good for the heart say the old saying
The arrangement works well for us, NZ can see apply the same law to Australians who commit crimes in NZ. The real problem is , trans Tasman migration is a one way street because wages and superannuation NZ are shit
Lots of bots on here hating
simple if they do not want to be deported become Australian citizen, like all,dual citizens cannot decide who they want to be for my thoughts deport all non-citizens &B permanent residents if they don't become citizens after qualifying period.
She has a point........Surprised she is not pissed off about us exporting Australia's greatest mass murderer to NZ.
Worth mentioning NZ deports Samoans and Tongan criminals but somehow she sees Australia as corrosive. Oh dear, what a dud PM they have.
YOUR people, YOUR criminals, YOUR problem, NZ jacindaardern
Maybe NZ should apprehend their criminals before they flee the country. It would remove the necessity of Australia deporting them back. Over representation of Kiwis in custody?
Ardern just talking itself up for NZ media and its public, there's a election pending...
Sweet Bro
I love her leadership & empathy. I think she could teach most world leaders a lot. BUT we have different views on this. When we go to any country, whether to live or visit, we are bound by their laws. If criminals are not Aus citizens, they lose the privilege of staying here.
Good
Nobody - except a few upper middle-class greens, university lecturers and the staff room at wants foreigners to come to Australia, or any other country, commit crimes and not be booted out.
Maybe ScottMorrisonMP should compile jacindaardern a list of long staying kiwi’s so she can personally send them a letter telling them they are not New Zealanders?
They’re her criminals. She’ll take a random Afghan boat person but doesn’t want her own citizens. Put a bunch of them on the plane back with her. Insufferable grandstander.
Telling it like it is, bro
Good.
She is a fool if she thinks we should keep the horrible kiwi crims here. Some have done shocking crimes. Back they go, never to return. She just doesn't want people like them back S they will do the same there, and jail js is expensive. Good riddance to them.
Ok.. so if your a bad guy born in NZ years ago of which get deported from another country is not welcome back to NZ regardless of birth rights.. your birth country disowns you of which makes you stateless... move on, nothing to see here.
Disgusting. She doesn’t want her crooks back, so that’s our problem?
Show pony polling poorly at home. Go back there.
She’s so disrespectful. Shaming our country while visiting .she needs to take a good look at the political and economic mess her country is experiencing
I can't stand this govt but if they view themselves as Australian why not become an Austalian citizen? Technically they're still her 'people'.
You know what else is corrosive? Kiwi's coming to Aus, getting on welfare & committing violent crimes.
Ardern’s constant hiss hidden behind fake smiles.
Umm check again they are Kiwi nationals with passports all yours baby!!!! Who cares if they grew up here! Byeee
Imagine being married to it.
I’d be forwarding that advice to Peter Dutton Jacinta. P.S This photograph does not flatter her and not because she’s standing next to Scomo
It’s in the Australian DNA
