Almost six months after Behrouz Boochani landed in New Zealand, the opposition is demanding answers on whether the refugee is in the country legally.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has slammed an"offensive" suggestion Behrouz Boochani benefited from a politicised process to enter the country, where he is reportedly bidding for asylum.

Mr Boochani travelled to New Zealand in November, ending a marathon stay in Australia's offshore detention regime by accepting an invitation for a speaking engagement in Christchurch.Behrouz Boochani on Manus Island.Almost six months later, Mr Boochani is understood to remain in New Zealand awaiting a decision on that application, which is lawful.

On Monday, Mr Smith suggested Mr Boochani was only let into New Zealand because he had"political friends in New Zealand in the Green party and the Labour party". "I'm not going to act outside of the law but I will call out a statement which I think questions the integrity of our immigration system, which is very robust in New Zealand, and indeed the integrity of parliamentarians," she said."Any suggestion otherwise is wrong and baseless," a spokeswoman said.A spokeswoman for Mr Smith declined to offer evidence to back up his claims, but the Kaikoura MP stood by them.

I heard a rumour that BehrouzBoochani was being held captive as a sex slave by a commune of cat ladies in a secret location . But I cannot confirm.

Boochani waiting decision for asylum in NZ. Family of 4 Tamils imprisoned on Christmas Island. ThTs is why Adhern and NZ are respected. They have compassion. Australian PM, most LNP do not. That is why App is not accepted...

Of course she is.....

Good we need answers and it’s well beyond time to deport the lazy bastard.

Saved by The Greens

Lol - he paid people smugglers thousands of dollars to get him to a 1st-world country so he could claim asylum there. NZ invites him in for 30 days and what does he do? Claims asylum. WTF did you expect?

Parasite gonna parasite.

OMGTheMess Leave him there. At least the POS isn't here

Mr Smith pointed to an interview last year when Mr Boochani pledged not to return to PNG as evidence he falsified his original visa application. Ardern played like a violin by this peasant goat herder. Wouldn't NZ love to have Mr Dutton running the joint.

OMGTheMess Once an illegal great grub always an illegal grub. Find & deport the scumbag.

Behrouz is fraudster , he needs to go back to Iran and look after the family he abandoned.

It was done to try and make Australia look bad. Obvious politician motive. NZ Labor has done plenty of damage to the aus/nz relationship.

Fascists can't cope when victims of their sadism escape

Doing an outstanding conquistador pose there whaaat.

& that is why they are in opposition. Refugees HumanRights
