Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has spoken out against Australia’s controversial deportation policy, calling for New Zealanders across the ditch to be treated like Australians in New Zealand. Appearing on Australia’s version of The Project, Ardern explained her concerns with the deportation policy. Since then, thousands of people have been deported to New Zealand from Australia. In March, tensions were further inflamed after Australia deported a 15-year-old boy. He was facing a visa cancellation for committing a crime when he asked to be returned to New Zealand.
