Comments made by NZ First Minister Shane Jones over the
weekend that Indian students have ruined our academic
institutions are unacceptable, Opposition Leader Simon
Bridges says.
“Jacinda Ardern needs to reprimand her
Minister for these comments, they are wrong and hurtful to
Indian New Zealanders.
“Bizarrely - they come at the
same time as Winston Peters was in India claiming it is ‘a
priority relationship for New Zealand.’
“It’s
time for Jacinda Ardern to finally stand up to her NZ First
Ministers.”
