We are heading to Matai bay now and maybe will venture all the way to cape reinga tomorrow weather permitting. Had an awesome holiday so far. Snorkeled the poor knights, had a week in the bay of islands, cavalli islands yesterday and will keep going north until there is a reason to come back south.

f*ck off to political talk please. Its down the bottom in Smalltalk

More opinion presented as fact. Followed by a quick "some of my mates are darkies" retraction. Thanks for clarifying where you are coming from.

Hmmmmmm....

Wow, top marks for actually reading that drivel and then taking the time to respond calmly and reasonably. I thought that this topic had been debated fully in the past but obviously NZL1 has been here 5 minutes and wants to have their say. It beggars belief that someone could still maintain that position, after the last 9 months of experience. Haters gotta hate.

A promising start. The border is not 100% secure to Covid in the same way that our border is not 100% secure to anything. This is why the testing takes place at entry and in MIQ. Testing prior to entry would require a secure post-test accommodation. Testing at early infection is nowhere near 100% reliable, so the reality is you would need 2 tests, about three days apart prior to boarding to be around 95% certain (but not 100%) that the traveller was not positive. Good luck managing that in ports outside your own country. Of course, if MIQ was the one and only me
