Andrew Little: NZ must reject 'poisonous prejudice' of Donald Trump's Muslim ban ANDREW LITTLEJONATHAN ERNST/REUTERS US President Donald Trump's decision to ban visitors from some Muslim countries is "a massive leap backwards for humanity", Labour leader Andrew Little says. That all makes United States President Trump's decision to block people from certain Muslim countries and refugees from entering America all the more abhorrent. New Zealand must say no to this poisonous prejudice by doing two things. First, we can demonstrate our humanity and rejection of Trump's policy by increasing the number of refugees we embrace each year to 1500. Second, our Prime Minister Bill English can honour our tradition of standing up to bullies by publicly condemning Trump's Muslim ban.
