It will be interesting to see how it goes.
Nicotine isn't banned, so people will still be able to get their fix, so it's not like prohibition of old.

For many, a patch of nicotine isn’t enough. They are also just as addicted to the physical motions of smoking.

The government isn't confiscating Rapid Antigen Tests from private businesses, the government is simply intercepting the tests that private businesses have ordered before they arrive and then taking them, which is totally different

Makes a mockery of the 'team of 5 million' and 'be kind' propaganda. The govt has abandoned its own citizens.

Maybe.
These are assumptions - Lived overseas for the entire time of Covid - Hasn't made an attempt to return to NZ at all - Gets pregnant - Now wants to try and return on an emergency spot. And then she gets a spot, and someone else family member doesn't. Or someones relative dies, or someone needs to get home. As soon as you put a emotional POV on it, where does it stop. Who is deserving and who is not. So, they put some requirements in to help. One of those requirements is for it to be an emergency, it needs to be within 14 days - sounds reasonable. I wouldn't necessarily call it an emergency if you can wait another month. Maybe they could reapply for a slot in the next 14 days. |

This is the only assumption that matters: that she is a citizen of this country.

It speaks to the dire circumstances others have been left to face since these border controls have been in place.

Why can't she just do what the others have - book a flight that has a layover in Auckland, and change her mind and not get on the connecting flight, and walk out of Customs into her own country, and then it's the Govt's job to find her a spot.

Its like complaining that you can't hope on a bus when it is at full capacity, because "you have at the right to hop on that bus that you want to hop on". It's not like this is new, so I would be interested to see where she placed in all the MIQ lotteries over the last few months. |

I ANAL but
No, the Immigration Act 2009 is very clear - NZ citizenship confers upon the holder the right to enter and remain in NZ at any time. For the Labour Govt to say "oh we're adding this other requirement, only a certain number of people can arrive at once" is plainly illegal. If a plane or boat can get you here, and you're a citizen, you have the right to get off the plane or boat in NZ, the end.

Given how badly wounded some regions are by covid, I'm glad for the success of the measures that the country has managed to implement and tolerate.
Charlotte Bellis is legit, if I was handing out favouritism, it would be to someone like them. But those who actually make these decisions have done us right, so I'm reluctant to criticise.

If anything, this Government is consistently useless. We know exactly what we're going to get when any plan is announced: fuck all of what they promise.

How have I not seen that yet. Here's the full link etc.
55766 (2021). Erica Stanford to the Minister of Education National MP Erica Stanford demands on public record to know if the Minister of Education has spoken to the Minister of COVID Response about returning teachers, and if not, why not. The Minister of Education's official response is golden. I hope this was just her play at a fun joke.
