Will the Government allow pregnant Kiwis home?

The Herald reports:

Bellis said they had recently received an email from MIQ inviting them to apply under a different category.

“The category being that there’s a serious risk to our safety, as opposed to ‘we need medical treatment’,” she said.

“I don’t know why we’re debating clauses, when nothing has changed in our application.

“The fact of the matter is, I’m a citizen, I pay taxes, I pregnant and I’m in a dangerous situation. Why am I jumping through hoops, you’ve already got all the information.”

At least four people have offered to give up their spots in MIQ for Bellis, but the system does not allow for any swapping of allocations.

A second country has also reportedly offered Bellis refuge.

If a John Key Government had locked pregnant Kiwis out of New Zealand, forcing them to consider giving birth in places like Afghanistan, the entire left would be melting down in fury. The Human Rights Commission would be denouncing the Government in the loudest terms. Every union would be up in arms. There would be street marches led by Labour and Green MPs.

But when Labour does it, so many of them fall silent. Has anyone heard from the Human Rights Commission on this? Have the Greens peeped a word?
