The whole point of this legislation was to keep our communities safe. I don't want to minimise the effects of the pandemic, as some members in this House may have. The reality is that the pandemic is continuing to kill people, and, actually, people in non-visa waiver countries are some of the places where the pandemic is raging really, really rapidly. For those people stuck overseas, who may have already made Aotearoa their home, they are particularly vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic, and the least we can do is give them reassurance that they'll be able to come back and that their visas will continue to be valid as our border settings change.
