As we've said, ACT supported the original legislation, given the uncertainty around the novel coronavirus at the time. The world will look very different in 2023, and we feel that it would be irresponsible for us to support this bill. We put our trust in the Minister to use these extraordinary powers wisely, and for good, to reunite split families, which is well overdue, and to address the longstanding issues at Immigration New Zealand. But, alas, all we've heard is excuse after excuse, and a border exemption process that fails to meet our expectations.
