Poll: Should New Zealand take in 1500 refugees? Is it enough?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The annual refugee quota will lift from 1000 to 1500 by July 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced this week. Before 2016 the refugee quota sat static at 750 for 30 years, well behind many other western nations. The National Government then raised it to 1000. Is it enough?

World Car Free Day is happening on Saturday, 22 September, and to encourage Dunedin and Queenstown residents to try alternative transport methods, bus travel will be free all day on the Dunedin Public Transport network and Orbus Queenstown.

Car Free Day is an international day, supported by over 1,000 cities. The day highlights alternatives to car travel and the social and environmental benefits of walking, cycling, or taking the bus.

Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Jim Boult suggested this is the perfect opportunity for locals to see what commuting to the CBD could be like by giving up the car for a day. “We’ve all been heavily reliant on cars in Queenstown, but times are changing. We’re already seeing increasing bus passenger numbers who are rating the service highly. As the town continues to grow, where it’s possible and practical we need to think differently about how we get around. So why not try bringing the kids into town on the bus for free on the 22 September and see if it could work for you too,” said Mayor Boult.
