The United Kingdom is vowing to ‘restore order and control’ - through controversial, sweeping reform on the country’s asylum system.

The new interpretations of human rights laws will make the UK less attractive for asylum seekers and make it easier to deport them.

The tougher rules on refugee statuses mean people would need to reapply, and it would take 20 years for permanent settlement.

Human rights lawyer and activist, Rêz Gardî, is a co-director and co-founder of the University of Auckland’s Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies - Tāwharau Whakaumu.

She joins The Front Page to discuss the landscape behind The UK's policy overhaul and whether New Zealand should be reconsidering its own approach to refugee status.
