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?

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

• Yes, we should take more
• No, 1500 is enough
• No - we shouldn't be taking so many
• Don't mind either way
