Immigration policy for New Zealand based on Te Tiriti o Waitangi must prioritise, partnership and consultation with tangata whenua (the First Nation people) recognising Māori rights and interests.
At the same time, New Zealand’s immigration policy must demonstrate cultural competence, equity and fairness to all immigrants and their families irrespective of duration of their stay, ethnicity, disability and/or health conditions. Their safety in the local community they settle in, during religious gatherings and at their workplace must be assured.
Towards this end, the three panelists explore the rights of immigrant workers, disabled migrants and migrants with health conditions to be safe and to flourish within a Te Tiriti based multicultural framework and amendments that may be required to legislations impacting on this segment of our population.
Out of respect for our kaikōrero and ringa hāpai, we have not translated karakia, pepeha from Te Reo Māori to English.
This webinar was part of the Te Tiriti-based Futures + Anti-racism open access, online conference, 16-25 March 2024. #TBF2024 www.tiritibasedfutures.info
