Government approved 74 DJs as critical workers

An OIA has revealed that the Government approved 74 DJs to enter NZ during lockdowns, as critical workers. 62 of them actually arrived.

Since June 2021, a total of 1,637 NZ citizens or residents applied for an emergency spot in MIQ and were declined. So NZ citizens who wanted to return home to see a dying relative were locked out, while foreign DJs were let in as critical workers!
