Q

dawn raids: what? when? why?

A

what? When police would forcibly enter peoples homes (mostly polynesian) early in the morning demanding for permits and passports. They would also stop people on the streets or enter workplaces searching for overstayers.
why?
The oil crisis 1973 led to increase in unemployment which made New Zealanders feel threatened by migrants who styill had jobs. This resulted in the NZ government to try crack down on overstayers so they started enforcing rules that had previously been ignored but they discriminated against Pasifika communities due to racial bias
when?
from 1974-1976
