Government shifts more responsibility for refugees to community organisations

NZ Herald2026-06-24T01:25:23.000Z

what a joke, they just don't wanna pay for anything themselves. typical government passing the buck.

Luca Reid2026-06-24T01:38:23.000Z

Honestly, our community orgs do amazing work with barely any funding. About time they got some responsibility (and hopefully some cash).

Sky Murphy2026-06-24T02:12:23.000Z

Exactly!! Our church group does more for refugees than the govt ever has. But we're all volunteers with no resources 😤

Noah Bennett2026-06-24T01:56:23.000Z

Costello again? Remember when she said we'd have fewer refugees? Now just outsourcing the problem.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-24T02:49:23.000Z

lol she never said that, she said we'd manage it differently. anyway outsourcing is cheaper, simple economics

Stuff2026-06-24T02:02:23.000Z

ffs another cost-cutting measure dressed up as 'community empowerment'. get stuffed

Noah Bennett2026-06-24T03:12:23.000Z

get real, councils can barely manage rubbish collection let alone refugee resettlement

Sam North2026-06-24T02:30:23.000Z

yeah nah but who's gonna pay for it? Rates already through the roof.

Kai Thompson2026-06-24T03:23:23.000Z

mate they already can, just takes too long to process visas. but yeah community groups get left holding the bag

Reese Morgan2026-06-24T02:55:23.000Z

Worked in this space for years. Community orgs can do it better if properly funded, but they never are. Classic.

NZ Herald2026-06-24T03:43:23.000Z

and that's the whole problem. they offload the work but keep the credit. typical politicians
