Auckland family fighting to keep aunty in NZ

From Morning Report, 7:37 am on 27 June 2024

An Auckland family says they're heartbroken two beloved members of the family are being told to leave the country by Immigration NZ. Loasi Latu and her husband have lived in New Zealand for decades, and have been told they have until tomorrow to leave the country voluntarily. The couple have overstayed their visas by more than 20 years, but their case is complicated by the fact Loasi is a 24/7 carer for her brother Villiami, and they say they were defrauded by an immigration advisor. Katie Fitzgerald reports.
