I'm not sure when these people went to India; our borders have been open to New Zealand residents for approximately a year give or take. Our borders were only closed for a short time for New Zealand residents. Now India is code red with the Covid virus at it's worst these people want to come home to New Zealand, why leave it for this amount of time??
This really pisses me off (excuse my language), it really does. They've had months to get home, I'm sorry to say this, it's there own fault and now they need to wait to protect our country as a whole. It was only a few days ago that 50 infected people left India on a flight to Hong Kong; this could be a disaster for a country.
I'm pleased there is a temporary ban on New Zealand residents coming into New Zealand from Covid hotspots around the world. I feel those people that have gone to the press to complain are being very selfish and need to understand why our country has done this; not to hurt them but to protect the millions of people in our country.
