Natasha James came to work in New Zealand in January 2020 as a critical health worker, but her partner and children are still overseas. Xiaosong Lan has a similar request in his petition. He wants the Government to grant border exemptions and managed isolation and quarantine spaces to all overseas partners of New Zealand citizens, resident, and temporary visa holders. Polina Chernyshova's petition—and I do apologise if I'm not getting the pronunciation of all these names correct today; I am sorry—says, and I quote, "being separated from our families is affecting our mental health, efficiency and ability to focus on the research, the critical research we are undertaking." Marianna Tomarelli's petition says, "it is harder for families in non-visa-waiver countries to gain entry to New Zealand.", and she submits to us "that the entry process should be the same from both types of country."
