  • NZ Govt can do more to help people of Aleppo

    December 17, 2016 9:15 AM
    The New Zealand Government needs to recognise what is happening in Syria right now as a humanitarian crisis and increase its refugee quota to take in more Syrian refugees, the Green Party said today.  "What we are seeing in the media about Aleppo demands a humanitarian response, and New Zealand can do that by increasing the refugee quota to help save people’s lives," Green Party immigration spokesperson Denise Roche said.  "When the New Zealand Government recently increased the refugee quota...

  • Syrian families need resettlement, not rhetoric

    September 21, 2016 11:37 AM
    The Prime Minister could pay more than just lip service to the Syrian refugee crisis on the global stage by offering more funding and more resettlement places to refugees in New Zealand, the Green Party said today. Tomorrow’s (NZ time) meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) will be chaired by John Key, following a historic meeting of world leaders to discuss the global refugee crisis. “The Prime Minister is talking a big game in New York, but resettling more...

  • Kiwi values are respect and kindness, not judgement

    June 14, 2016 11:42 AM
    Refugees in New Zealand need more Government support to help them make a good life for their family, not judgemental political dog-whistling, the Green Party said today. “The Government has the ability to substantially increase support services for refugees in New Zealand to help them with language learning, employment and social integration,” said Green Party immigration spokesperson Denise Roche. “Increased support from the Government and community groups will help refugees adapt to the Kiwi way of life – not forcing them to...

  • National does the bare minimum by tiny increase to refugee quota

    June 14, 2016 9:10 AM
    Monday's announcement that National will put off a 250-place increase in the refugee quota until 2018 is another example of this Government’s commitment to only doing the bare minimum to help people in desperate need, the Green Party said. The Green Party supported this year’s 20,000 strong petition to increase the quota and funding for refugees in New Zealand. The Greens also have a Member’s Bill in the ballot which would double the amount of refugees that we welcome to...

  • Govt can show heart by doubling our refugee quota now

    March 31, 2016 10:19 AM
    The Green Party is calling on the Government to put its heart first and double New Zealand’s refugee quota immediately, a move that the Greens and Labour would make in government. An ActionStation petition of 20,000 people will be presented to politicians today asking for a doubling of the annual refugee quota, which has stagnated at 750 for 28 years. “Doubling our refugee quota is a heartfelt political statement that says New Zealanders care and want to do our bit,”...

  • Green Party launches Bill to increase refugee quota

    Denise Roche June 17, 2015 10:02 AM
    The Green Party has launched a Member’s Bill that would require the Government to lift New Zealand’s refugee quota to 1000 per year, the first increase in 28 years. The Bill is being launched in advance of world refugee day this Saturday and comes on the heels of calls for New Zealand to increase its refugee quota. The current quote is 750. “John Key has said increasing our quota won’t do much, but it will make a massive difference to...
