The government will allow a 'Parent Boost' visa from September. It will grant parents of citizens multi-entry access for five years, with the opportunity for renewal once - meaning they could hold the visa for 10 years. Applicants will also need to meet specific health, income, and insurance requirements. NZ Immigration Principal Consultant Katy Armstrong says New Zealand's not always just a skip across the ditch. For some people its a 24-hour journey or more, so the visa's a significant move

I've struggled with a couple of authors this week – Jacinda Ardern and Jake Tapper. What I struggle with is one of them is making money out of the fact they made an astonishing hash of their job, quit, bailed out of the country and is now collecting money for retelling what happened in a way that would suggest no carnage was left behind. The other is making money by exposing what he watched unfold in front of his eyes for four years and really did nothing about. I'm not sure who the bigger fraud is
