Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: Ultimately, my message to anyone who's been affected by the border restrictions is that we acknowledge the significant hardship that that can often cause. Nobody would, by preference, have these kinds of border restrictions in place. We all need to remember why we have those border restrictions in place and what New Zealand has been able to achieve over the last year and a half through those border restrictions, which is the lowest case rate of COVID-19 in the OECD and the lowest rate of death in the OECD, and our border restrictions have played a very big part in that. But I acknowledge, and the whole Government acknowledges, the significant personal cost that that has created for many people. In terms of the issues around exemptions, Ministers do not make those decisions; those decisions are made by public health officials on public health grounds.
