The NZ First’s 25th party AGM took place in Tauranga over the weekend and with it came a proposal on immigration, spearheaded by List MP Clayton Mitchell. It is called the Respecting New Zealand Values Bill. The policy, which would require new migrants to NZ to sign up to and abide by a list of New Zealand 'values', was passed by delegates over the weekend, and will be put forward to Parliament. The legislation certainly has people talking, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern yesterday wrote off any Labour Party support on the Morning Report with Guyon Espioner. NZ First Leader Winston Peters is however in support of the Bill, as Mitchell claims it is all about being intolerant of intolerance, and represents the antithesis of racism. Producer Harry chatted with Mitchell Wednesday morning to hear his perspective on his Bill.
