"China is angry. If you make China the enemy, China will be the enemy," a Chinese government official said in a briefing with a reporter in Canberra on Tuesday.
The dossier of 14 disputes was handed over by the Chinese embassy in Canberra to Nine News, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in a diplomatic play that appears aimed at pressuring the Morrison government to reverse Australia’s position on key policies.

There's that cliche about not passing over people who deserve consideration in important decisions – 'What about the children'. Well overseas people who have come here for whatever reason are vulnerable like children. I know we tend to fluff our responsibilities to fellow humans when they we can't get millions out of them, but come on NZ isn't there one Minister or MP of good character who can look out for people caught up in the invisible barbed wire at the border.

We want to be better than Australia don't we? We seemed to be so let's not drop the ball now.
If they are graduates they have achieved what they came here for. Can't see that we owe them anything.

Guerilla Surgeon on Bowalley Road put up a link from Newsroom. The cruel violence of ‘kindness’ and ‘unity’

I don't know, i haven't tried absinthe.
Not sure what your first link has to do with it, these people are not New Zealanders.
Second link, i don't read Trotter. Waste of space.
The first link is from a Newsroom article by an Auckland Law School lecturer and is very relevant to New Zealand. It is depressing to read if you ever had any illusions in Jacinda Ardern or the NZ Labour Party but I fear there is a ring of truth in it.
Sure, but nothing to do with what grey is saying.
is confusing as grey still doesn't know how to use the reply button.
Well thats not what could be described as complimentary…or kind.
A story from Newsroom, yes: https://www.newsroom.co.nz/the-cruel-violence-of-kindness-and-unity

It seems that the Australian Defence Ministry is issuing a much better apology than our miserable lot managed for misbehaviour by both our gallant forces in Afghanistan.
Once again, we are being out-performed by our trans-Tasman cousins.
I wouldn't blame Hager and Stephenson if they joined the brain-drain trend, and moved to Oz.
Not doing a link – just look at any news currently going.
