Sunil Kaushal: Waitakere Indian Association President on the new report examining the economic contributions of Kiwi-Indians

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

New numbers from the Waitakere Indian Association show Kiwi-Indians contributed more than $37 billion to the economy annually to March 2025.  The association argues this demonstrates the community is critical to the success of the India-New Zealand FTA. NZ First has railed against the FTA, saying it'll allow more Indian migrants into the country.  President Sunil Kaushal says the numbers are clear. "We need to set the record straight - the Kiwi-Indian community has been there for 200 years." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
