Now, that reduction in people entering New Zealand is something that cannot be sustained. In so many ways it is dividing families. It is preventing people coming home to say goodbye to dying loved ones. It exposes us to what has been termed "the hunger games", where 26,000 people try to get in an electronic queue for 3,000 MIQ spots. It means people who need to renew and build additional commercial relationships by meeting people offshore don't have the possibility of doing that. It means that our industries that depend on people coming—I mean, forget tourism, even just something as simple as export education—are unable to function. Those are the costs of a status quo that relies upon New Zealand's isolation from the rest of the world.
