Refugee advocates: "NZ's treatment of Asylum Seeker's worse under Labour Government"

The treatment of Asylum Seekers in New Zealand has worsened under the Labour government and pleas for change are falling on deaf ears.
That's according to Tim Maurice, Chief Executive of the Asylum Seekers Support Trust.
Mr Maurice told RNZ's First Up programme the Department of Corrections refuses to disclose which of their prisoners are Asylum Seekers - preventing the trust from advocating for them.
But that's just one of the issues.
Mr Maurice says that amidst the Covid-19 crisis, many Asylum Seekers are being refused the supports they're entitled to from Work and Income due to wrong information being given out by staff on its national helpline.
