Teanau Tuiono @teanau.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Pacific families should not have to wait anxiously for a 12-month review to find out if they can afford to visit loved ones in Aotearoa. Winston Peters accepted a petition of nearly 50,000 signatures calling for visa-waiver access for Pacific visitors. This announcement falls well short. 172
Teanau Tuiono @teanau.bsky.social · 12/03/2026The Government should scrap visitor visa barriers for Pacific Islanders, not just create a 12-month trial of lower fees. Today's announcement is largely a reversal of their own October 2024 decision, when they hiked the total cost from $171 to $216. Calling this a generous initiative is misleading. 34311
