Australia's Immigration Minister Andrew Giles issued ‘Direction 110’ on Friday, which means non-citizens with violent criminal records can be deported, even if they'd lived their whole lives in the country.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says "it's just not right".
Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Heather du Plessis Allan “This is Politics 101, and Labour’s only got itself to blame.”
Olds said “Let’s be honest: it’s not about parking tickets – it's about serious criminals – rapists, sex abusers, murderers for God’s sake.”
Old said "These are the people that Australia doesn't want... where are we going to take them? Send them back to New Zealand."
