Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies stuck in countries where they weren't able to give birth, with no visas, having to go to court to get an MIQ spot; nurses sitting offshore, unable to get in through MIQ to bolster our critically short workforce, while split-migrant families have spent three Christmases apart—that is business as usual at our border. Business as usual from this Government saw us being the only country in the world that, effectively, closed our borders to our own people while gas lighting them by pushing the narrative that they had all the time in the world to come back—"They're only coming back for a holiday.", "It's all their own fault.", and "They're simply cumulative risks." Business as usual from this Government turned Kiwis against Kiwis in a disgusting display of division; this was business as usual from this kind and caring Government! Did they reprioritise Kiwis over DJs? Nope. Did they increase MIQ capacity? Nope. Did they consider purpose-built MIQ capacity? No. Did they, in fact, use all of the MIQ rooms that they had available to them? No. They can argue all they like that they were keeping us safe, but the things don't add up when sports teams, The Wiggles, DJs, and nannies come and go while desperate Kiwis and healthcare workers get relegated to the bottom of the pile. This has been business as usual for two years.
