Posted on 22 September 2021

61 organisations and individuals, including CID members religious and community leaders, lawyers and academics sent an open letter to Nanaia Mahuta, Minister of Foreign Affairs expressing major concerns about delays in Government action.
 
"Your Government is perceived to be one that practices kindness and is committed to collective action for the betterment of humanity, yet other countries have taken significant steps to address the need for international support and assistance, while New Zealand has not," says the letter.
