As you stated Frank the MSM whose role I understood was to hold the powerful to account have again failed to do so. Meanwhile NZME announce reporters being laid off. No surprises there as trust and the expected balance we expect is long gone. When the main source of the information being fed to the country is from Hosking and his ilk it is reassuring that we have so many other good information sources such as yourself. May your influence continue to grow.
It's putting in regulation to excuse what's already been happening for years. But in the scramble for good news to distract from all of the other disasters they have initiated of their own making and now proudly oversee.
It's got Luxon's hands all over this. Stanford looked embarrassed for the second time this week.
Luxon is the political equivalent of taking wet wipes to a sewerage geyser. Wet, ineffective and leaves a massive stinking mess for someone else to fix.
Exactly. I am sure that there are plenty of “tourists” who do this anyway. Or people from Visa Waiver countries who work under the table for NZ companies etc.
Citizens from Visa Waiver countries (other than six months for the UK), can come for three months. They must be able to prove their bonafides, ie: money or family to support them while here, and a return ticket, if challenged by Customs or Immigration.
It’s going to be pretty easy to forge documents to say you’re here as a digital nomad, and then overstay. Or make it tricky for Immigration to differentiate who really is, or isn’t, if they return multiple times.
Some very high risk countries belong to the Schengen and EU agreements.
I’m glad I don’t work in that environment anymore…
As you highlight this non announcement is faithfully praised by media - it seems that scrutiny occurs only when the government is not doing the work of the Atlas Nutwork, very disappointing
Great work Frank. Unfortunately, the New Zealand media that once held politicians and governments to account has left the room. In its place, a weakened, failing sector, reeking of desperation and hoping to survive by embracing ‘sycophantism’.
oh my dawg..so so murikkkan to put 3 clueless bimbos in front of a camera and let them babble bullshit...wait til DEI( DID NOT EARN IT) finds out about these 3 losers...shame dingdong jones will have to banish them to his comfy WOKELAND..oh ffs nz PLEASE PLEASE WAKE THE HELL UP.. we are Aotearoa NOT murikkka
Likewise there has been a huge barrage of publicity about the govt CONSIDERING one-year Certificate of Fitness tests for motorhomes. Instead of the current six months. While they do huge dodgy things completely under the radar.

The fee (tax) for entering nz has been raised quite a bit.
