End Attacks On Immigrant And Refugee Communities


End Attacks On Immigrant And Refugee Communities

"Yesterday New Zealand politics in Parliament were brought to a new low by New Zealand First leader Winston Peters" said the Progressive Deputy Leader Matt Robson MP.

"He used the tragic events in Bali, which have the whole country grieving, to attack immigrants and refugees. This shows a political leader without principle who will use any means for perceived political advantage."

"What we need at this stage is unity in the face of terrorism not a shameful attack on new members of our community."

"Mr Peters knows very well that many in those communities know the pain of war and terror and that it is outright cruelty to attack them."

“The decent path for New Zealand First to take would be to desist from these attacks and work with all New Zealanders to forge a united plan to combat terrorism."
