The Minister of Immigration, Kris Faafoi, had the perfect opportunity to start this process of reunification in June last year. We know this because he was briefed multiple times by his officials on the heart-breaking anomaly where our migrant nurses who came to New Zealand just prior to lockdown were unable to bring their families to join them whereas the 500 nurses who have come in since the borders closed have been able to bring their loved ones here. So, for nine months, he has wilfully ignored the desperate pleas of these nurses who have not been able to hold their babies, for up to 15 months in some cases.
