Deportations, migration and closer defence partnership will be on the agenda when Anthony Albanese meets his New Zealand counterpart Chris Luxon in Canberra today. As AAP reports, the two prime ministers are meeting for the annual Australia New Zealand Leaders Meeting. Cooperation between the two governments is already broad, with more than half of the New Zealand cabinet visiting Australia since Luxon’s government took office last November.
However, one issue – deportations – continues to cause friction. New Zealand has long protested Australia’s practice of deporting criminals with Kiwi passports but with stronger ties to Australia. Once in New Zealand, deportees have allegedly joined gangs in huge numbers, and New Zealand argue they stand a better chance of rehabilitation in their adopted communities.
