A Christchurch woman has been denied entry to Auckland to be with family for the funeral of her brother who died suddenly in Queensland, NZ Herald reports. The family says health officials have shown a lack of compassion and there is no consistency in applying border exemption rules. “They let gang members in… I know of nurses that have entered the region to administer Botox. How is that consistent and fair?” a family member said. The Ministry of Health declined two applications by the woman for an exemption to travel to Auckland to grieve with family members at the online funeral on Thursday.
