The person is a 15-year-old boy understood to be the first minor deported to New Zealand from Australia, according to a report by Stuff. Ardern said she still did not agree with the deportation policy but she questioned whether it was appropriate if a minor was involved. "We're talking about the most serious offenders here and our country is safer for having deported them," he said. Minister for Covid-19 Response Chris Hipkins also slammed the comments and the Australian deportation policy in general - which is not reciprocated by New Zealand.
