the Dawn Raids
In response to these social problems, Prime Minister Kirk created a special police task force in Auckland in 1973 which was tasked with dealing with overstayed. Its powers also included the power to conduct random checks on suspected overstayed. Throughout 1974, the New Zealand Police conducted dawn raids against overstayed which sparked criticism from human rights groups and sections of the press. In response to public criticism, the Labour Immigration Minister Fraser Coleman suspended the dawn raids until the government developed a "concerted plan." In April 1974, Kirk also introduced a two–month amnesty period for overstayed to register themselves with the authorities and be granted a two–month visa extension. Kirk's change in policies were criticized by the mainstream press, which highlighted crimes and violence perpetrated by Maori and Pacific Islanders.
In July 1974, the opposition National leader Mulldon promised to reduce immigration and to "get tough" on law and order issues if his party was elected as government. He criticized the Labour government's immigration policies for contributing to the economic recession and a housing shortage. During the 1975 general elections, the National Party also played a controversial electoral advertisement that was later criticized for stoking negative racial sentiments about Polynesian migrants. Once in power, Muldoon's government accelerated the Kirk government's police raids against Pacific overstayed.
The Dawn Raids were condemned by different sections of New Zealand society including the Pacific Islander and Maori communities, church groups, employers and workers' unions, anti-racist groups, and the opposition Labour Party. One Pacific group known as the Polynesian Panthers combated the Dawn Raids by providing legal aid to detainees and staging retaliatory "dawn raids" on several National cabinet ministers including Bill birch and Frank grill, the Minister of Immigration. The raids were also criticized by elements of the police and the ruling National Party for damaging race relations with the Pacific Island community.Critics also alleged that the Dawn Raids unfairly targeted Pacific Islanders since Pacific Islanders only comprised one-third of the overstayed but made up 86% of those arrested and prosecuted for overstaying. The majority of overstayed were from Great Britain, Australia, and South Africa. The Muldoon government's treatment of overstayed so damaged relations with Pacific countries like Samoa and Tonga, and generated criticism from the South Pacific Forum. By 1979, the Muldoon government terminated the Dawn Raids sine the deportation of illegal Pacific overstayed had failed to alleviate the ailing New Zealand economy.Raid.
