Crosby - a Welcome Stranger?

An Australian refugee group is calling for Lynton Crosby, the Conservative's campaign strategist, to be banned from New Zealand "on character grounds".



Crosby has been linked to New Zealand's National Party, the Conservative opposition to Helen Clarke's Labour government.

Immigration is a key issue in New Zealand, as it was for John Howard in Australia in the 2001 and 2004 elections where Crosby was widely credited for pulling the rabbit out of the hat for John Howard's conservative Liberal Party.
