The annual refugee quota will lift from 1000 to 1500 by July 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced this week. Before 2016 the refugee quota sat static at 750 for 30 years, well behind many other western nations. The National Government then raised it to 1000. Is it enough?

But happy he was not. He wanted to use his artistic talent and started carving – bone and wood. “Mine is pacific art”, says Siosefu as his name is spelt in Tongan. He amalgamates Tongan and Maori themes like “a Tongan fish hook but mixed with a manaia design.” Or he inserts pieces of paua shell into a Polynesian style fish hook. Joseph/Siusefu is working hard to constantly increasing the quality of his work. “I think my talent is growing … my work is better [than] before.” And if things work out, he will open his own shop and gallery one day in this town. But for now he is still at Thames Market with his beautiful carvings.
