From Morning Report, 7:07 am on 1 February 2022

New Zealanders desperate to return home who feel they've been locked out of the country should have some certainty soon.

Cabinet ministers are expected to discuss their plan for re-opening the borders when they meet today and an announcement could be just days away.

The latest plan states that from the-end-of-February, vaccinated New Zealanders in Australia, and possibly elsewhere, will be allowed to skip MIQ and isolate at home.

Grounded Kiwis spokesperson Martin Newell spoke to Corin Dann.
