Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Immigration) (remote): Firstly, I acknowledge both the member asking the question and Ibrahim Omer as two former refugees who now play an important role in this House. Our Government has shown a strong commitment to providing ongoing safe and inclusive pathways for refugees to come to New Zealand and to settle in to our communities. From July 2020, New Zealand's annual refugee quota increased to 1,500 individuals; however, due to the impact of COVID-19, the quota was only partially met in 2020/21. We've also expanded the number of refugee families able to be reunited with their loved ones, by doubling the refugee family support category from 300 to 600 places as of July 2022—that's next month. Since then, we've also responded quickly to support people fleeing conflicts by opening up over 1,600 places to refugees from Afghanistan, and creating the 2022 Special Ukraine Visa to provide a safe pathway for those seeking refuge from Ukraine following Russia's invasion. We stand by our commitment to provide the best possible refugee resettlement experience, by ensuring that we're providing certainty, stability, and wraparound support for people being resettled in Aotearoa New Zealand.
