  • John Key puts Australian domestic politics ahead of human rights of Kiwis

    Marama Davidson November 10, 2015 10:37 AM
    It’s time for John Key to stop putting his mateship with Malcom Turnbull above the need to call Australia out for its appalling human rights abuses, the Green Party said today. “John Key’s more interested in making silly bets over the rugby with his new BFF Malcolm Turnbull than getting New Zealanders off Christmas Island,” said Green Party human rights spokesperson Marama Davidson. “Overnight, Australia faced a grilling at the United Nations over their treatment of people in their detention...
