@nepia snacks? We don't have to be bribed to do our patriotic duty
there is a Foodhall literally outside the door - it's in a mall. I celebrated with a lamb doner for lunch.
They gave us snacks in the 15 minute waiting time after the jab - a small bottle of water, these little bags of italian flavoured chips (awesome, I grabbed a bunch extra as I left) like grainwaves and shortbread (boo).
Soft ass Westerners.

No snacks at Homebush for me either
I clearly got lucky as the snacks were available on my second much speedier trip too, there was also free barista coffee at the first check in.
Sheesh, did you get a shoulder rub while you snacked in the waiting area?
Haha nope, thank god, I hate massages, and the nurse controlling the waiting areas was a bit of an old crone.
I love massages, but only from old crones!

A glimmer of hope for the ramp up, after 5 weeks of flatlining.

I wonder how long the legal fiction of MIQ requirements will stand given the unavailability.
There were some hints at this on an online comment by CHris Hipkins/Stuff article ( I know, I know), but the reality is right now NZ is preventing citizens from returning. At the risk of appearing like a pearl clutcher, this appears to be a breach of human rights. I think a judicial review could be very interesting, particularly in light of the fact that Immigration NZ can no longer deport people to countries with high risk of covid (India, specifically, and others by inference).
We live in interesting times, and I personally really preferred the old boring times.
That’s the most depressing thing I’ve read in a while.

Shouldn't these checks be done at Australian airports? I doubt NZ has any staff over there so we are relying on local customs/immigration officials.
-
@taniwharugby I expect the threat of being put into MIQ or sent back to Aust is being used as a deterrent, so there is a degree of honesty involved.
There aren't that many flights so surely documentation could be checked just like visas, boarding passes etc. We had breaches at Australian airports before when people travelled inter-state to fly to NZ when lock-downs were in place.

Australia have sorted out their cases
there is a very real chance that will never happen

Wasn’t that the plan though?
This chart shows straight line growth planned followed by a kick -

Just booked both my vaccination appointments online. That was surprisingly easy, and only have to wait 11 days until my first jab.
Mine is scheduled for mid-September, so I guess it depends on where you live. Quite a difference.
