OPINION:Like thousands of other parents, I rushed to buy tickets for the Wiggles when their We're All Fruit Salad Tour! Every day I see stories of Kiwis overseas who are struggling to find spots in MIQ in order to return home. Granting the Wiggles MIQ spots they did not request in time is easy - and makes it look like the Government is open to exceptions. And now that the Wiggles have got their "contingency" spots, will ordinary Kiwis continue to be denied the right to come home? This whole Wiggles MIQ saga started off as one political hot potato — but has now turned into a giant can of worms.
