NZ MP accused of 'Hanson-like' policies
A New Zealand politician has been compared to Pauline Hanson for suggesting his country shut its doors to Asian immigrants.
New Zealand First deputy leader Peter Brown revived the race debate by saying that NZ was under threat of being "inundated" by people who did not want to integrate.
His comments came after statistics showed the number of Asians in New Zealand was tipped to rise to 790,000 by 2026, almost double its current figure.
"The rapid rise in the Asian population is driven mainly by immigration and both National and Labour (parties) are equally culpable," Brown, a British-born migrant, said in a statement.
"No other country follows blind policies of importing people and exporting jobs like New Zealand and it is time this foolishness was ended for the sake of the people who live here now," he said.
