Attack victims’ families ‘should have read fine print’
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/12/19/955845/march-terror-attack-victim-families-need-to-plan
Family members who flew in to help those injured in the Christchurch attacks are now struggling with mounting hospital bills. The Government says they should have known their visa conditions would leave them liable for the debts, Dileepa Fonseka reports.
Relatives of those injured in the March 15 attacks who rushed into the country on visitor visas in the days after the attack should have known they would be liable for hospital bills incurred while here, the Immigration Minister says.
Families who rushed to New Zealand to support the victims of the March 15 attacks should have checked their visas, the Immigration Minister says.
In the days after the attacks close family members arrived on temporary visitor and work visas to support those with serious gunshot wounds.
And they’ve stayed, in some cases to take care of victims who face a lifetime of health care needs.
But the conditions those visas were granted under mean they are not eligible for healthcare subsidies and some are racking up debts with District Health Boards, as Newsroom reported this week.

Minister of Immigration Iain Lees-Galloway said: “No matter what the circumstances are that they come under, I think they understand what they can expect when they're here on a visitor visa.”
“I think they need to plan accordingly.”
Tayyaba Khan, founder & CEO of the Khadija Leadership Network said Lees-Galloway had made a “naive assumption” that relatives of terror attack victims would have read the "fine-print" of their visa conditions in the immediate aftermath of the March 15 terrorist attack.
“You’re talking about people who don’t live here who have come her to support other people because we can’t find ways of, for one reason or another, supporting them ourselves.”
“The expectation that they would have a) the ability to know what the system is, b) read the fine-print is actually a pretty major ask in a traumatic situation.”
