Te Rina,I agree what you have written.But why in hell should the tax payers of NZ have too pay $24 million dollars to Tonga as we have already more than 85 Tongan over stayers here and Key has had no balls to deport them.This is another election bribe too those Tongans who have citizen ship here.National should come clean,and not bribe their way through winning another term.

Amnesty International, the greens and Goff to name afew say we should accept theses refugee's. But at what cost, The genuine Refuge who waits in line, the poor over burdened tax payer who bares the cost. And as soon as they gain residency then all the relations are on their way as well. The elderly to go on the pension and the rest who cant find employment onto some benefit, too which they have not contributed. If The Greens Goff and amnesty International are so concerned why don't they put there money where there collective mouths are and fund the refugee's. It is great to see that at least John Key has a back bone.
