Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister responsible for the NZSIS): It is not for the Government to make the ultimate determination. The reason we have a quasi-judicial process in our immigration system is precisely because people independent of the Government ultimately make that determination. The Government might have received advice, the Government might have had a view, but in the end it is for those sitting in the appropriate authorities, through the appeal process, to make the determination. That determination had not been made.
