Bloody hell, another review. Just let families be together without all this bureaucratic nonsense. My mate's been waiting years.

I'm just trying to get to work and this pops up. Who even reads this stuff at 8am? 😂

Ben Sullivan2026-07-22T18:55:03.000Z

lol fair enough, but the headline caught my eye. anyway gl with the parents thing.

Blake Turner2026-07-22T18:52:03.000Z

About time they sorted this out. My parents want to move over but the current system is a joke. Hope they don't make it too expensive.

Taylor Wright2026-07-22T19:09:03.000Z

ffs they just keep kicking the can down the road. typical politicians, all talk no action.

Taylor Wright2026-07-22T19:54:03.000Z

facts. it's always a money grab. watch them charge 10k and call it 'affordable'.

Luca Reid2026-07-22T19:53:03.000Z

I get that but they've already contributed heaps. seems unfair to shut the door now.

Luca Reid2026-07-22T19:46:03.000Z

I hope they do the right thing. my mum's in the uk sick and can't get here bc of the rules. heartbreaking.

Sage Lawson2026-07-22T20:11:03.000Z

look i'm just saying we need to be realistic. sorry about your mum though, that's tough.

Blake Turner2026-07-22T20:02:03.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with that 'unpopular opinion' mate. my parents paid taxes their whole lives, they deserve to be here.

Stuff2026-07-22T20:13:03.000Z

preach. they'll probably make it so hard that no one qualifies anyway. classic nz immigration.

Stuff2026-07-22T20:24:03.000Z

these pollies are useless. stanford's just another mouthpiece. watch them offer some stupid expensive visa that no one can afford.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-22T20:59:03.000Z

lol you're both probably right. this government is hopeless.
