Jacinda Ardern has raised the 501 issue with the new Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Unsurprisingly and rather predictably, Albo has given Ardern the short shrift and told the functioning idiot that masquerades as our Prime Minister that Australia will keep on taking out the trash:
Australia will continue with its controversial 501 deportation system, despite “forceful” feedback from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told a joint news conference he had listened to Ardern – but the practice of deporting criminals to their birth country would continue.
“We’ll be maintaining Section 501, but we’ve heard the very clear message from the Prime Minister, as we’ve heard before,” the new Australian PM said.
Albanese said Ardern had argued forcefully for New Zealand’s interests and raised concerns about the 501s.
He expressed some empathy for New Zealand’s position, saying if he were in Ardern’s position, he would make similar arguments.

In shorter words so even Ardern can understand them: ‘Get stuffed; not our problem’.
This was the biggest thing that Ardern has had to achieve with our relationship with Australia, and she has banged on for years how she is going to talk tough on it. But even her pals in the Australian Labor Party are telling her to get stuffed.
After all her fawning press over there I wanted to hang a sign “Free to a good home” on her. Looks like she will be back in short order after getting short shrift on the 501s issue.
