Australia's deportation policy is so "corrosive" that it has soured its bilateral relationship with
New Zealand, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Friday, a rare bust-up between the two historic allies.
Australia's conservative government has in recent months moved to deport thousands of foreigners convicted of crimes as part of an
immigration crackdown that can also strip dual-nationals of their
Australian citizenship.
The move has seen hundreds of people deported to New Zealand, a country that some left when just children and have few ties to.
