Pressure is on Christopher Luxon over 501s as he meets with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese in Canberra. \xa0

In 2022, former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had convinced Albanese of a common-sense approach to the topic.\xa0

But that stance changed in June, when a new directive made the safety of Australians the top priority in deportation decisions.\xa0
