We have petitions from workers and students who are currently overseas—seven petitions. Tincy Mary Philip is really "frustrated that the border is closed to students who were granted study visas before entry restrictions began," and she "describes their financial and mental health problems as a result of not being allowed to enter." We can see a theme coming through here. Nandita Alexander, her husband, and their toddler "were living and working in New Zealand but got stranded overseas while visiting relatives at the start of the lockdown.", and they just want to come back. Yu Ting Mak seeks to "extend the exemptions to all migrants who still have work in New Zealand." Mandeep Singh asks that the following people be allowed entry into New Zealand: "people with work or study visas who had been living long-term in New Zealand … offshore partners who were issued a visa to join their partner in New Zealand before the borders [were] closed." Julie South is very concerned about a shortage of veterinarians, and I read in the media that there is now a critical shortage of veterinarians, which is applying considerable pressure on those vets who are working in New Zealand. Belen Macchiavello asks "that the Government allow migrants with current New Zealand visas who are stuck offshore to re-enter New Zealand."
