New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern is due to meet with her Australian counterpart for the first time since the Christchurch massacre.


New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will raise the "corrosive" issue of deportations of Kiwis from Australia when she meets Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Melbourne on Friday. 

Ms Ardern, who is making a whirlwind visit to the country, said she understood that some deportations were justified, but complained the Australian government's policy went too far.
