Sure Grant, sure.

Newshub reports:

Mounting political pressure is not the reason pregnant journalist Charlotte Bellis was offered an emergency MIQ spot, Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson says.

That whopper would make Pinocchio’s nose reach the moon.

Yes it had nothing to do with the fact the story dominated NZ news media for several days, was reported in scores of countries around the world, and the outrage from fellow Kiwis that a New Zealander was being forced to give birth in Afghanistan instead of New Zealand.

Instead Grant would have us believe, they merely rechecked the paperwork and found she qualified after all.
