Marie Dyhrberg: Lawyer on the decreasing number of 501 deportations from Australia
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB
A criminal defence lawyer thinks common sense has prevailed as deportations from Australia plummet. New Zealand Police data shows an average of 18 people a month have been deported to New Zealand in the past year. It's a decrease from a high of just under 44 in mid 2018. Lawyer Marie Dyhrberg told Mike Hosking that it's had a dreadful impact on a lot of people. She says people can be considered as having socially undesirable connections to a group, even without a criminal record. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
