Recent examples are the scenes of migrants that you would have seen on TV, or in person, in Auckland especially, sleeping or camping out on the street all night just to get the chance to remain here. This a highly predictable outcome of the way that medical certificates are dished out. Once upon a time, any registered doctor in New Zealand could issue a medical certificate for immigration purposes. This made sense—they are medical professionals, after all. For better or for worse, this was changed some years ago—it probably made sense at the time—but, as a result, around New Zealand, there are just 135 doctors who can do this for immigration purposes. In fact, in my home city of Hamilton, there are just four who have Immigration New Zealand seal of approval. They are now dealing with a significant number of people needing to get medical certificates before the end of July, when applications close. Given Immigration New Zealand has only managed to approve 15 percent of the applications in their little December trial run of this resident visa, I wonder if they're actually quite happy to see the bottleneck caused by the lack of approved doctors around the country. This is just one thing that could have been so easily avoided with proper policy-making.
