New Zealand PM Ardern says Australia's deportation policy is 'corrosive'

Australia’s deportation policy is so 'corrosive' that it has soured its bilateral relationship with New Zealand, according to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

SYDNEY - Australia’s deportation policy is so “corrosive” that it has soured its bilateral relationship with New Zealand, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Friday, a rare bust-up between the two historic allies.

The move has seen hundreds of people deported to New Zealand, a country that some left when just children and have few ties to. Roughly 650,000 New Zealand citizens - more than a tenth of the smaller country’s population - live in Australia.“If you have committed a crime and you’re not a citizen of Australia, then you have no right to stay,” Morrison told the same media conference.
