Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Immigration): Fakaalofa lahi atu, Mr Speaker. I stand by the Government's border policies to protect New Zealanders from COVID-19 and position our economy for a strong recovery. This has meant taking some difficult decisions needed to maintain secure border settings, which continue to protect the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Where it has been safe to do so, we have adopted policies that have taken the pressure off migrants and their employers. I acknowledge some continue to experience difficulties as a result of the global pandemic. However, since closing the border in March 2020, we've issued a range of border exceptions. We've extended the visas of onshore workers and given them more flexibility in their conditions, and we've recently provided an additional streamlined pathway for a one-off residency stream for over 165,000 migrants currently in New Zealand.
