'The New Zealand First leader, a long-time immigration critic, backs the Government's emergency intake of 600 refugees from the war torn country, but with a controversial condition.

"I think we can do better, but we can't while we've got mass immigration," Mr Peters said.

"If we are going to do it, let's take the women and children and tell some of the men to go back and fight for the country's freedom like we are."'
