We are, ultimately, in a very strange and discriminatory situation here, where citizens of New Zealand are allowed to return, but we find that, actually, permanent residents are not. I'm not going to belabour the point that there are basically no differences between a citizen of New Zealand and a permanent resident. There's a few—they're quite small—but we just need to remind ourselves that we're surrounded in this country already by Kiwis who are citizens and permanent residents. We make no distinction in our daily lives: permanent residents can vote, and most importantly—particularly to a Labour Government—they pay a lot of tax. So it feels to me both legally and morally wrong that we are not allowing them to return.
