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?

Between 10.15pm-10.40pm on Tuesday night, the victim left an address on Plunket Street travelling towards Dargaville Hospital via one of the three adjoining streets.

During that trip he was assaulted and sustained a blow to the head. His vehicle, a distinctive orange/copper metallic coloured Lexus IS200 saloon, was then stolen and found crashed and burnt out on Victoria Street, near the Northern Wairoa Bridge a short time later.

Dargaville police would like to hear from anyone who has information that could help our investigation, please contact Detective Andrew Bailey on 0211915765 or Detective Sergeant Jonathan Tier on 0211915774.

NZ Police Cybercrime Unit Detective Sergeant Damian Rapira-Davies said it was a variation on previous scams seen by police, where the scammers claim to be from a widely recognised organisation in order to gain the victim's trust. Rapira-Davies advised people not to engage with anyone on the phone if you think you are being scammed. ​"Hang up immediately and report the incident."
