Campaign to double New Zealand's refugee quota and funding.
New Zealand's refugee quota has not increased since it was established in 1987. Since then our population has grown by more than a million places. The United Nations ranks us at 87th in the world for hosting refugees per capita, and this drops to 113th if we factor in GDP. On 1 July 2016 the National government will announce what the quota will be for 2016-19. Join us to tell them it is time for an increase.
