Immigration NZ issue

Sheryn from Pukekohe

Full disclosure : the Lauren in this situation is my first cousin.

www.sbs.com.au...

I was at her wedding in January, in Reporoa, NZ.

Her Australian husband returned to the UK to finish up his affairs (of the non-adulterous kind), booked to return to NZ later in March, and resume life as part of our family, and start their own family.

Then along came Covid, and now he is stuck in England and INZ will not allow him to return as he does not have a partnership visa, which Australian partners have never needed before, but now suddenly do. By the time you work out that you need one, you can't get one. There was a time in NZ where being legally married meant something, apparently not anymore.

If you think INZ is being a dick, please consider signing this petition by Oct 4 to support Lauren, our family, and anyone else who may be in this dire situation:

Thank you for listening.

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
