Citizenship

Dear Friends,

The Labour Party, supported by NZ First and National, is proposing a new law that will make it harder for new immigrants to become New Zealand Citizens.

1. Citizenship after 5 years residence, not 3 as now.

2. Time in NZ on temporary permit will not count for citizenship.

3. Marriage to NZ citizen will not mean shorter period for Citizenship.

4. Childern for non-citizens not entitled to citizenship (this clause was dropped but now being considered)

5. SIS (Special Investigating Services) can recommended withdrawal of passport.

 

These proposals are unjust for all New Zealanders.

You are invited to attend a Public Meeting organized by;

Hon Matt Robson MP

Deupty leader of the Progressive Party

On 5th July 7:00PM

at Otahuhu Town Hall,

High Street, Otahuhu.

 

Those people who have already got the citizenship/passport under immigration law also requested to come and took part in this meeting as under new propsed law on request of SIS your passport can be revoked, which is unfair.

I also request the PANZ cabnit to come forward and take active part as these changes adversely effected on the Pakistani Nationals and on those Pakistanis who have taken their NZ passorts/citizenships.

Looking forward to see you there. The media people are there and your presence can show the resistance on the bill and help to deffer that bill.

Regards,

 

Khurram Zaidi
