Lara Greaves chats with Rosetta and Milly about NZ First's proposed policy to reduce voting rights to NZ Citizens. Whakarongo mai nei!

On Sunday, New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters pledged that NZ First would bar non-citizens from voting, emphasising ideals about what citizenship means as a requirement to vote. A promise that Peters has made before, the pledge has been questioned over whether there’s actually any problem with the current system, how this will harm permanent residents in New Zealand, and what NZ First's goal is with the pledge against the background of their anti-immigration stances.

Host Alex spoke with Andrew Geddis, Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Otago, about this promise, and what it could mean for non-citizens.
