@taniwharugby Oooh, might have to look that up! I missed that whole debate being overseas.

@voodoo by loads, I mean like 30 or 40 people liked it, 6 or 7 people commented, but given I have like 3 or 4 friends in RL, I thought that was pretty good, none of them turned into real friends so, so you know, that wasn't so choice.

This might seem mean, cos I dont know that person and thier circumstances, but if they are our hope for creating a vaccine, looking at the spelling and grammatical errors in that rant means we are doomed anyway!
As I have said earlier, on the surface, making returnees pay seems fair, but I cant see how it can be done fairly.
Where?
Where?Unfortunately that post was tl;dr...

Magnified by its virtual eradication of Covid

Someone has fucked up royally by not getting this signed off before they left.
this!!
Not sure how they were allowed to stay in NZ previously (coming and going too I expect) if they arent citizens or PR.
Problem is, this is now in the media, there cant be any relaxing or amending of rules just cos they are sports people, opening a mahussive can of worms!

Of course there can be. Look how many get off without convictions just cos they have promising sports careers.
George Moala should have been sent to jail as one such example.

@MN5 not really comparable IMO...but given the current climate, if they are giving special dispensation to sports people who are supposedly not entitled to return to NZ, to return to NZ, they are opening themselves up to a shit ton of, well shit.

It's an odd one, as these guys have lived in NZ for a number of years, and only left the country on behalf of their NZ employer in a deal organised between them and the sporting body that governs them. I wonder how far off being PR's they are?

The way I read it was they're on a work visa, so normally no probs, but CoVID restrictions only allow citizens in.
