Greens call for overstayer, temporary worker amnesty to atone for Dawn Raids
Greens call for overstayer, temporary worker amnesty to atone for Dawn Raids Gillian Bonnett © RNZ / Jogai Bhatt Migrant groups are welcoming a Green Party proposal to offer an amnesty for overstayers and residence for temporary workers. The party says the infamous 1970s Dawn Raids - an immigration crackdown on Pacific Island overstayers - is why the government must create a pathway to residence for people without visas, an estimated 14,000 people. The Greens Pacific people spokesperson Teanau Tuiono has called for the government to apologise. The Dawn Raids are a shameful stain on New Zealand history, defined by racial tension and unrest as police and immigration authorities victimised Pacific Islanders they suspected of abusing the terms of their visas, he said.

Climate Change Commission plan 'a big challenge' for New Zealand
Climate Change Commission plan a big challenge for New Zealand Craig Mcculloch © RNZ / Rachel Thomas New Zealand is heading for a major upheaval under a landmark plan to combat the climate crisis - but the sectors in line for the most serious change are already showing signs of resistance. The Climate Change Commission has released a draft blueprint with recommendations on how to slash emissions to ensure the country is carbon neutral by 2050. Among its proposals: a ban on conventional car imports, slashing livestock numbers by about 15 percent, the closure of Tiwai Point, and a ban on gas hobs in new houses.
