From Checkpoint, 5:25 pm on 14 December 2021

Grounded Kiwis are hoping their calls for changes to MIQ take flight and the threat of Omicron does not cause delays.

A petition with almost 23,000 signatures has been delivered to Parliament asking for it to be made easier to get New Zealanders overseas home.

In particular, the petition calls for MIQ to better align with the Bill of Rights.

Our reporter Jake McKee and cameraman Angus Dreaver have the story, and Lisa Owen talks to Grounded Kiwis spokesperson Alexandra Birt.
