A public hearing on a bill that aims to restore a pathway to New Zealand citizenship for a group of people born in then-Western Samoa was held in South Auckland this week. 

The bill is at select committee stage, after it passed its first reading in April. 

RNZ Pacific's Grace Fiavaai has the story.
