The IMM recommends that the Government:
47. Review relevant legislation and policy to ensure that disabled people do not experience additional barriers over and above others when applying for entry into New Zealand, including but not limited to:
a. reviewing the Immigration Act 2009 to ensure that it aligns with New Zealand’s obligations under Article 18 of the Disability Convention
b. repealing section 392 of the Immigration Act 2009 to enable the Human Rights Commission to receive complaints about immigration matters;
48. Work with disabled people to create immigration instructions that fulfil the Government’s obligations under the Disability Convention and the Disability Strategy.
