Masks just to stop anyone sneezing or coughing on someone else could be handed out before boarding?
Probably should have added condoms as well as masks to avoid the mile high close contact. Particularly in Victoria (the state, not the girl that you all know).

@taniwharugby I think the Moscow Circus has been stranded here the whole time. From memory they were in the country in March and got caught with some of the border closures

@Hooroo Fair enough. It just seems a tad risky when there's a chance, all be it a small one that the virus could show up on days 13 and 14 (assuming the maximum period of infection is 14 days). Hopefully that's not what happened to the Korean traveller.

@dogmeat @Snowy unless you're in a lift for 60 seconds and then you can get 71 ppl!
Got to wonder what she did in the lift. Spit, sneeze and cough all over the buttons? Or was my other comment correct about it all being BS and this thing is far more contagious?

These guys are not NZ citizens. they just happen to be employed here. I think the govt has to hold firm or else open the door to thousands of other non NZ citizens who also have worked here, but are currently overseas.
@MajorRage If you have dual citizenship then NZ could strip you of yr Kiwi citizenship. Plenty of countries make you give up your birth rights if you take on their citizenship. However we have chosen not to do this so it would require an Act of Parliament and the govt's a bit busy right now. As a NZ citizen international law says we have to let you in.
As the two Warriors are essentially visitors - we don't. Tough on them. Yeah but someone fucked up in the back office. Not the govt's issue. they can't be seen to make exceptions for a couple of footy players. You can't argue League is an essential industry. Maybe if the Warriors were actually any good but - yeah nah.
That’s an archaic viewpoint and unrelated. They live in NZ. Their homes are there. Their stuff is there. You can’t compare current residents to those who left.
Sure come be a NZ resident, pay your tax, entertain the masses, but then if you head off for a government agreed initiative we may not let you back in. In the meantime we’ll let in wealthy individuals, film crews etc, but no, not you even though it’s where you live.
It is one of the foulest things done by a NZ government that I can remember.

@MajorRage happy to hand out PR status to family members of the mosque shooting, no questions asked, but not so freely generous with nz citizens trying to visit their own families.
I'm with you rage, I've been appalled by the government's cold feet on a situation entirely of their making - and how quick kiwis have turned on other kiwis. There but for the grace of God...
Begs the question, what is the point of being a New Zealander?

I think that is much more to do with the few idiots escaping isolation and the media continually ramming down our throats how much isolation is costing than anything.
I am sick of the bleating and whinging from a small number of morons not living in NZ about how tough shit is if they want to come home.
Why dont you just fucking come home then? I dont want to hear about how hard it will be for you to get home, how you dont want to pay for isolation when you get home (which you wont need to for a fair while yet) I dont wanna hear about how you dont feel like you are a Kiwi anymore because everyone in NZ wants to shut you out and make you pay.
I think it is incredibly unfair we have to keep paying for isolation for people coming home the past few months and for an indefinite period of time going forward, but by the same token, I also cant see how we can charge people to pay for isolation in thier homeland...more so when a very small number of these fluffybunnies coming home think thier own circumstances is greater than the team of 5 million, or as a few of the off-shore whingers would say, the team of 6 million, choose to break out of isolation and put the sacrifices and efforts of the past 4 months at risk.
I am pretty much fed up with the whinging fluffybunnies off shore, I am fed up that our media feed these fluffybunnies by publishing thier opinion peices, I am fed up with our media always painting doom and gloom.
BTW, afterwork drinks since 3pm today...

Here's another peach of a story
I can smell the bleating coming off this article -
@ravens88 Wtf, this article lost me at this point
"To demand a fee of returning Māori, their claim to the land enshrined in the Treaty of Waitangi, is especially egregious. As Berlin-based poet Hinemoana Baker says: “I would hope – and I say this in the strongest terms – that being Māori might be considered compassionate grounds.”
