A minor has been deported from Australia to New Zealand.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said at the post-Cabinet media conference this afternoon that she had "only just been made aware" that there was a "minor" in a group of people deported from Australia to New Zealand.
The person involved is a 15-year-old boy who is understood to be the first minor deported to New Zealand from Australia, according to a report by Stuff.
Ardern has asked for a briefing on this issue from officials.
She wanted to go back and look at the circumstances of this deportation, she said at the post-Cabinet conference.
