It basically means that responsibility is now only in New Zealand’s hands, despite Ardern previously asking Australia to work together on the status of women.
“It is wrong for New Zealand to take responsibility for a situation involving a woman who has not lived in New Zealand since she was six years old, has resided in Australia since then, has her family in Australia and left for Syria since Australia on her own. Australian passport, “said Jacinda Ardern.
“Australia has abdicated its responsibilities in relation to this person and I have personally said that to Prime Minister (Scott) Morrison.”
It comes after the Turkish Defense Ministry tweeted that three New Zealand citizens attempted to “illegally enter our country from Syria.”

“Someone has identified himself as a New Zealand citizen accompanied by two young children who has been detained at the Turkish border,” Jacinda Ardern told the media today.
“This is an individual known to the Australian and New Zealand authorities for some time.”
The person left New Zealand at the age of six. They were Australian residents “from that moment on, they became Australian citizens, left Australia for Syria and traveled with an Australian passport.”
Ardern said that at this time New Zealand expressed its concern with Australia “about deciding whether in the event of their arrest, or possible return, who should be responsible for those people.”
“Our very strong opinion on behalf of New Zealand and New Zealanders was that Australia clearly treated this individual in the most appropriate manner.
“That is where his family resides, that is where their ties reside, and that is where they left for Syria.”
Ardern raised this directly with Morrison and asked to work together.
He was then told the following year that Australia had unilaterally revoked the individual’s citizenship.
“You can imagine my answer.”
He said that Ardern has since said that they “continually raised with Australia our view that their decision was wrong.”
“The well-being of children must also be at the forefront in this situation. Coming to New Zealand, where they have no immediate family, would not be in their best interest.
“We will cooperate with the Turkish authorities and since there are children involved, their well-being will be the most important thing in our response.”
When asked this morning if New Zealand should block the person’s return, National Leader Judith Collins said that “most New Zealanders like me would consider that person and not someone we would do our best to help return. to New Zealand … to fulfill the obligations of the Government. ”
