Like many in this House, we put our trust in the Minister to use these extraordinary powers to work hard to protect families and livelihoods in the context of a global pandemic. We had high hopes for a smart and compassionate border, but the Government achieved neither. It's also not just about the border; it's about the treatment of migrants already here in New Zealand. The global pandemic has obviously brought about many challenges, especially with regards to New Zealand border management in the context of an elimination strategy. Those who are directly affected by the Government's immigration policies were suddenly caught up in all that uncertainty, and we owed it to them to get it right.
