MBIE EMERGENCY ALLOCATION GUIDELINES
We have recently obtained under the Official Information Act (OIA) a copy of the guidelines used by MBIE when assessing emergency allocations. We know it is difficult and stressful applying for an emergency allocation, so we wanted to make this publicly available for everyone to read and use to help with the process.
Grounded Kiwis Docs
The New Zealand Government is requiring Kiwis to enter a lottery to enter New Zealand.
After the first 'virtual lobby' we carried out a survey of those who had used the new system, with 902 respondents sharing their experiences.
In October 2021, we submitted to a Select Committee on the COVID-19 Response (Management Measures) Legislation Bill

Complain to MBIE
You can complain to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) - the department running MIQ - about the MIQ system. If you are not happy with the response, you can then complain to the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman has already launched multiple investigations into MIQ, but the more noise we make the better.
