The head of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, has met with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to raise concerns about Australia’s offshore detention centres, and this should make John Key question his ongoing support for how Kiwis are being treated by the Australian Government, the Green Party said today. “Mates hold each other to account, and let each other know when they have crossed the line. John Key needs to let his Australian counterpart know they have gone too far...

The Green Party will be abstaining on the Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Bill.

Minister must say whether they had anything to do with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s (NZTE) refusal to release a report into the deaths of 900 lambs sent to Saudi Arabia as a Government bribe to a Saudi businessman, the Green Party said today.
