Reports circulating widely on X claim that the three accused are asylum seekers. While this has yet to be officially confirmed, the conversation has already turned sharply toward a glaring loophole in our immigration system. It is one that many New Zealanders weren’t even aware of.
Currently, anyone who enters New Zealand on a visitor visa can immediately apply for asylum. Once that application is made, they are eligible for housing, legal aid, and financial support, all funded by the New Zealand taxpayer, until their case is heard. That process can take months or even years. In the meantime, they live freely in the community.
And now we are faced with an allegation that a tourist, a visitor to our country, was brutally assaulted by individuals who may be benefiting from that very system.
According to mainsteam media, the young woman was picked up in a van, allegedly forced into the vehicle, sexually violated, and then left outside her hostel. The police have confirmed they have been investigating since January 1, and the charges are now before the Auckland District Court. If convicted, the men face up to 20 years in prison.
This is not just about one horrific incident, though that alone should be enough to spark national reflection. This is about a wider system that may be enabling harm while shielding individuals from scrutiny. The online comparisons to the UK’s grooming gang scandals might seem extreme to some, but for many New Zealanders, they represent a warning we would be foolish to ignore.
New Zealand has long prided itself on being a compassionate nation. We open our doors to those fleeing persecution. That is something we should be proud of. But compassion must be balanced with caution, with due diligence, and with accountability.
We need to ask hard questions:

We need to ask hard questions:
* Why are we allowing people to apply for asylum the moment they step off a plane on a visitor visa?
* What checks are being done on these individuals while they await their hearing?
And most importantly, how are we protecting the safety of New Zealanders and visitors alike?
The alleged rape of this young woman is devastating. Her story deserves more than just legal process. It demands a policy reckoning. We cannot let our asylum system be exploited, nor can we afford to turn a blind eye when that system potentially puts innocent people in harm’s way.
Yes, everyone deserves a fair trial. But New Zealanders also deserve a fair and safe society. The balance is off, and it is time to fix it.

This is an instance of a wider problem in which NZ's so called "human rights" legislation takes away the human rights of ordinary, innocent people and provides opportunities to criminals and easy money to lawyers and social workers.
In the past, asylum seekers, who were otherwise illegally in the country, were kept in detention, but NZ's woke judiciary ruled that was illegal. NZ then just became a free for all. Just look at all the fake "refugees" like Golriz Ghahraman. How many of our "refugees" come from genuine refugee camps?
NZ should be scrapping the Bill of Rights Act, Human Rights Commission, Race Relations Office, Treaty of Waitangi Act, refugee policies and all the other laws that are the result of well meaning intellectuals with no common sense. As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
So, essentially an "open boarder" policy kept under wraps from the tax slaves, and inline with rest of the west's "replacement immigration agenda" based on the Zionist "Kalergi plan".
Another anomaly for National - so easy to amend this law. Yet this is not done. Result: unnecessary problems.
Giving racially and culturally alien individuals (usually young men) "asylum" (and asylum from what, exactly, other people like them?) and spending grotesque sums of taxpayer funds on them while their extremely dubious claims are investigated is absolute madness but it is a fairly uniform policy right across the West. Why? Can anyone explain this, given the demonstrable costs (monetary, social and otherwise) that result?
It is not that they are all rapists and other types of criminal, but it seems from the experience here and elsewhere that many of them are, quite aside from the huge handouts they are given. It is a matter of logical certitude that this German woman would never have been gang-raped but for these animals being here in the first place and, darkly ironically, it turns out that she needed asylum from them far more than they need it.

These practices go way beyond the obligations of a host nation as outlined in the Refugee Convention 1951.
The onus is on asylum seekers to prove that they are genuine escapees from persecution. Being a citizen of a poor country does not equal 'persecution'. At a conservative estimate, 95% of so-called asylum seekers are not refugees from persecution but economic opportunists.
If the authorities suspect that they pose a threat to the host nation or its security, they can be moved on at once.
Nowhere in international law does it say that host nations are obliged to offer genuine refugees citizenship and all the benefits that come with it. Once the danger to genuine refugees in their home countries is over, they can be repatriated.
I have no problem with offering temporary refuge to people running from war and pogroms, but I do not owe them anything beyond that.
In response to another 'anonymous' without the courage to put his/her name to their posturing: @ April 18, 2025 at 6:53 AM:- The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy, is a debunked far-right, antisemitic, white genocide conspiracy theory.
