Hi May,

Just wanted to let you know that I think you’re a legend, I just read the RNZ article you are quoted in and it is great to see someone really holding our government agencies accountable on this issue.

In my opinion the treatment of migrants to New Zealand under recent immigration settings has been scandalous and the lapse framework has allowed criminal behaviour to go unchecked. Also, unfortunately, with Immigration NZ – usually it is the Migrant themselves that bears the brunt of any action that is finally taken and it seems like their deportation or leaving the country (sometimes in debt) from INZs perspective is seen as a reasonable resolution of the issue.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I thought you had it bang on in all your comments and just wanted to thank you. Hopefully with more attention this can lead to change and better outcomes to people who choose to try build their life here.

King regards,

Matt
