Geoffrey Miller: Democracy Project international analyst says sanctions against Russia over Ukraine have taken a while to be introduced

The Government is urgently passing a new bill specifically targeting the Russia-Ukraine conflict.  New Zealand has been criticised for not having sanctions as strong as some other countries. It includes freezing assets in New Zealand, a travel ban on more than 100 people and the economic targeting of people supporting the invasion, including oligarchs.  Democracy Project international analyst Geoffrey Miller told Kate Hawkesby it's taken a while to be introduced. “You had everyone from Switzerland and Monaco to Singapore and Japan and all of those countries traditionally have been reluctant to impose sanctions.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
