Since the borders closed in March last year lines have had to be drawn over who should be granted an exemption to travel here; the green light was given to health and other critical workers, some Pacific residents, maritime crew and those needing exemptions on humanitarian grounds. But some decisions have been more controversial - particularly those related to the America's Cup and film and TV productions.
Last week the government announced changes it said would make it easier for migrant families to be reunited and this week the government said the border closure was a good time to review immigration settings - announcing a year-long inquiry by the Productivity Commission to do just that. Kathryn talks to the Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi about what further changes might be on the cards.
