Discussion on refugees
The possibility of resettling a small number of disabled Indo-Chinese refugees in New Zealand is under discussion between Government officials and a United Nations spokesman. Dr Hugo Idoyaga, the director of the United
Nations Information Centre in Australia and representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand, said that he had had discussions with the Government on resettlement. He said that the possibility
of resettling a small number of disabled people from the refugee camps in South-East Asia had been discussed. He had not been able to meet the Minister of Immigration (Mr Malcolm), but understood he was open to such proposals.
