Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: In the six months since Operation Whakahokinga Mai was established, we've managed to bring nearly 90 percent of those we set out to assist. This leaves less than 200 eligible people in Afghanistan. Of those still remaining in Afghanistan, some face difficulties in obtaining suitable documentation for travel, while for others it is not clear if they intend to take up the support to travel to New Zealand for a variety of personal reasons. By the end of April we expect around that 97 percent of eligible people will have arrived in New Zealand. That's why I'm signalling now the intent to wind down this operation, because on 29 April the Afghanistan Departure Taskforce will close and assistance, including payment for flights, accommodation, and third-country visas will instead be provided through relevant MFAT divisions. From 30 July onward, assistance will be provided on a case by case basis to those with exceptional circumstances preventing them travelling before this date.
