Keeping families apart, including very young children, is a shameful practice that INZ should have resolved long ago. I know that members receive correspondence about the terrible situations that migrants are in and the lack of compassion that INZ has shown towards them. One example is a highly skilled clinical psychologist, who got in touch with me very recently. She is employed in a Government agency that deals with very difficult cases. Her husband has been stranded overseas for longer than a year without possessions or family there, unable to return to New Zealand. She's now at a point where she's about to walk away from New Zealand. I can assure this House that the agency that employs her will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to fill her role if she leaves. All they need is a simple border exemption.
