Signed the petition, I really hope your family are able to be reunited!

My nephew's wife is an Aussie, they lived in Perth for years before moving to NZ to live. Well nephew came back first with some of the kids and wife followed suit in February this year with the rest of the family. I can't image what would have happened if she hadn't been allowed in the country 😞

Wishing you all the best and keep us updated 🙂

Signed. Good luck!

I'm going to presume there are people here like me, that unless they are looking for something specific, tend to just only watch the home page and the current discussions panel on the right hand side.

@freitasm Is it ok if I bump this every few days to catch new sets of eyes?

Thanks to all of you who have supported and signed so far.

Lauren is very grateful, as am I.

EDIT 765 votes so far. 

New media coverage : One News, which better explains why entry options available to non-Australian partners are not available to Australian ones.

Hooray! Finally an article (about a different couple) that bothers to mention the petition and includes a link!

Lauren was on The Project last night. 

She is one of the most upbeat people I have ever met, but I know there have been plenty of tears.

She was a bit nervous and said 300 instead of 3000.

Newlyweds forced apart by quarantine in different countries

Once upon a time, Australian citizens with Kiwi partners could come and go as they pleased - without a partnership visa. Now they need one, but without processing or exemptions, many are stuck in a grey area with no idea when they'll see their partners next...
