s159 crimes act- child becomes human being (and can be a victim of culpable homocide s160) once it has ' completely proceeded in living state from the body of its mother' (born)
--> there is law protecting the life of infants.
But infanticide in the legal world is used as a partial defence
s178 crimes act- where a WOMAN casues the death of her own child, under age 10, in a manner that amounts to culpable homicide(s160), and where at the time of the offence the balance of her mind wa disturbed, by reason of effects of childbirth, she is not fully liable under murder or manslaughter, but guilty of infanticide- which only has a max imprisonment term of 3 years

What would New Zealand do if 100000 refugees come to New Zealand?
New Zealand would really struggle if 100,000 refugees arrived all at once. This is about the size of one of the 5 biggest cities in New Zealand, say Dunedin or Hamilton. New Zealand does not have the facilities for this many refugees, or even for this many people to arrive to live permanently, and refugees need a lot of support when they arrive as they have usually come from very different cultures and a stressful situation. Also, New Zealand is not a very multicultural society (predominantly European and Maori heritage) so integration can be difficult for some people, and therefore support systems are very important. New Zealand currently accepts less than a thousand refugees per year.
