The monolithic Managed Isolation and Quarantine System (MIQ) is rapidly becoming a huge millstone around the government's neck. Moreover, it could yet become a lasting metaphor for the bureaucratic inertia that seems to have replaced the government's once agile and sure-footed response to the pandemic crisis. 

Every day now there seems to be a new story suggesting the MIQ system is too inflexible, cumbersome and no longer fit for purpose. Whether it be constant reports of the inequitable nature of access to MIQ places, the inordinately long waiting times for places, or the frequent admissions that large numbers of places that are being held in reserve day for a rainy day that never seems to come, the inevitable conclusion is that the system simply is not working. Its heavy-handed approach is more reminiscent of the Gdansk shipyard mentality of the Muldoon era over forty years ago than the way contemporary New Zealand works. 

Yet the government seems increasingly paralysed when it comes to doing anything meaningful about it. Minor tweaks here and there from time to time have not been enough to sort out all the problems the inflexible system has created. More and more people are being adversely affected by the delays, more and more families angered by being unable to visit parents and children overseas, all because they cannot be assured of a place in MIQ when they want to return home. And with reports indicating that hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders working overseas are wanting to come home on a permanent basis, the problem is set to get far worse. 

Moreover, many of those seeking to return have already been fully vaccinated and are struggling to understand why they should be denied the right to return to their own country freely and when they want, because of a rigid and bureaucratic system that treats vaccinated and non-vaccinated people the same, and New Zealanders no differently from anyone else. The Human Rights Commission currently has cases before it, arguing that the MIQ system breaches human rights. It is a surprise, frankly, that they have taken so long to emerge. 

Things have to change and change fast. The government's response so far has been weak and timorous. It is unwilling to acknowledge there is even a significant problem to be addressed, with no real answers other than "we'll look into that" every time a new anomaly or unfairness is raised. The roadmap beyond the pandemic due to be released next week, following work done by a team led by prominent epidemiologist Sir David Skegg is unlikely to offer any immediate solution either. 

This is the time for some of the bold leadership the Prime Minister liked to talk about last year but seems to have forgotten since the election. So far, the government has been able to rely on low levels of vaccination, and consequent higher levels of risk, to justify its mandatory detention scheme for those arriving at the border. That excuse will wear increasingly thin as – slowly – more New Zealanders become more fully vaccinated, and as vaccination rates in other countries soar. Detaining people who are Covid19 free and fully vaccinated will become an increasingly difficult proposition to sustain as more and more vaccinated New Zealanders, here and abroad, become impatient to start moving freely and safely around the world again. 

The government should immediately change its practice to enable all New Zealand citizens and permanent residents who have been vaccinated and are Covid19 free at their time of arrival in New Zealand to self-isolate at home for up to ten days, rather than be bundled into a state controlled MIQ facility the way they are at present. Many other countries manage things this way, using bracelet technology to monitor compliance so it should not be difficult for New Zealand to follow suit if the political leadership and will was there. 

That would allow New Zealanders to have more control over their own lives once more. More MIQ space could then be freed up for those arriving at the border who are not New Zealand citizens or residents, as well as being a pragmatic step towards opening New Zealand once more to the rest of the world, something the government seems stubbornly and infuriatingly loath to do. 

The last time New Zealand went through a period of a heavy reliance on centralised regulation, and ever more regulation to enforce the regulations was during the Muldoon government in the early 1980s. It eventually imploded when it became clear there was no plan to move beyond that state. The present government’s approach to border control and MIQ is veering towards a similar, ultimately unsustainable, situation today. 

When and how the government responds to the MIQ chaos will show whether it is prepared to show the leadership a transition to the post Covid19 environment will require, or whether it will remain content to just drift along the way it has been for most of this year.

  4. My Husband broke up with me after 9years of relationship. It started from small misunderstandings after which he told me that it would be good to take a break, which I think turned into a breakup. He no longer looks for me, he blocked my number and people said they saw him with another woman, this brought tears to my eyes because we are about to marry, I searched for help when i came across this spiritual man called PRIEST OSAS who have helped many people having relationship problem, I talked with him about my situation and he describe to me the process to get back with my lover, I followed his instructions and today I'm happy because my man came back after 5 months of breakup and we are happily married now.

  8. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

  11. An amazing testimony on on how i conceive, also cure from fibroid, i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Priest Babaka has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Priest Babaka, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week. Contact Priest Babaka for your own testimony via Email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com Or Facebook at priest.babaka
