Hon IAIN LEES-GALLOWAY: Well, two reasons. First, the Government is committed to doing our part as a good international citizen and providing a pathway for those displaced by war and other tragedy to make a new start. Second, refugees are great for New Zealand. Former refugees and their families contribute to our communities culturally, economically, and socially. They bring with them their experiences, cultures, skills, and their strong desire to participate in employment, community activities, volunteering, and education.
