Special Ukraine Policy w/ Ricardo Menéndez March: March 18, 2022

Earlier in the week the government announced the 2022 Special Ukraine Policy which will open up a fasttracked path for immigration for the family of Ukrainians in New Zealand.

This policy is expected to benefit around four thousand people and will be open for one year from now.

Green party MP and immigration spokesperson Ricardo Menéndez March put out a media release following the announcement in which he calls for this response to be a part of a broader equitable framework.

Casper spoke to Ricardo about the policy and how it might be extended as a part of New Zealand’s immigration approach.
