Jacinda Ardern’s catch cry and slogan during the Covid scare was “kindness”. Of course, she was everything but kind when she divided us into a ‘Them’ and ‘Us’ society. We were divided into those who took a particular medicine and those who didn’t. We were divided into those who wore masks and those who didn’t. Then there was the misery inflicted on NZ citizens by the MiQ lottery. This stopped New Zealand citizens who happened to be overseas from reentering their own country.
Now the consequences of that “kindness” are coming home to roost. While citizens were prevented from returning DJs and entertainers were flitting in and out as some sort of favoured group. Some of those stuck overseas by Ardern’s “kindness” had children while offshore. As a result, those children have a lesser form of citizenship – and
their future children have
no pathway to New Zealand citizenship.
