The Government has announced that New Zealand will impose travel restrictions on individuals expelled by other countries following the Salisbury attack.
A joint statement from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters was issued on the matter today.
"We will be asking our security partners to provide those names to us," said Ms Ardern.
"Those names will then be placed on a travel ban list to ensure that individuals who have been found to undertake activities incompatible with their diplomatic status in other countries do not enter New Zealand."
In the statement Ms Ardern and Mr Peters said that New Zealand had clearly registered its deep concern over the Salisbury attack and the inadequate response from Russia to justified questions.
"Like our partners, we are raising questions on legitimate matters of international concern.
"As we said soon after the Salisbury attack, there are serious questions here that Russia needs to answer," Mr Peters said.
The statement comes after repeated attacks from National in Parliament over the issue.
