Labour and NZ First still split over immigration

From Morning Report, 8:22 am on 13 November 2019

The spat between Labour and New Zealand First ministers over arranged marriages may have moved behind closed doors but it's no closer to a resolution.

The Prime Minister has already announced that Immigration New Zealand will return to exempting arranged marriages for partnership visas where couples can't fulfill the test of having lived together for twelve months.

But Labour needs New Zealand First to get any changes across the line and that's looking increasingly more unlikely.

RNZ political reporter Jo Moir has this story.
