Co-founder of Polynesian Panthers says overstayers should stay
A co-founder of the Polynesian Panthers says the Government should allow overstayers to remain in New Zealand when it formally apologises for the dawn raids later this month. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will apologise on behalf of the state at a commemoration event in the Auckland Town Hall on June the 26th. Our producer Matthew Theunissen discussed the announcement with activist Will Ilolahia, who says it's not enough for the government to just apologise. But he started by explaining his role in opposing the devastating raids back in the 1970s.
