The fight to get a flight back to New Zealand

A second red flight for people eligible for MIQ emergency allocations will leave Sydney to fly to Auckland next Wednesday. MIQ spaces have been made available by deferring places intended for a group of fisher people and some RSE workers. It comes after a red flight this past Sunday, when 93 people in urgent situations were able to return to New Zealand. Christchurch man Barry Smart  is 82 and very keen to get on that flight, but he doesn't fit the criteria and is worried whether he will be able to get back here.
