Subject: Official Information request - Covid-19: Considerations about the
rights and wellbeing of children with a non-NZ national parent

 

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

 

Please provide copies of all advice considered by Cabinet pertaining to
the rights of and/or wellbeing considerations relating to New Zealand
children who are currently indefinitely prevented from seeing one of their
parents as a result of the government‘s prohibition on the entry of non
New Zealand citizens.

 

As this relates to the wellbeing of living children, please treat this
request as urgent.

 

Yours faithfully,

Stephanie Johnstone
