On behalf of Hon Iain Lees-Galloway, Minister of Immigration, Minister for
ACC and Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety thank you for your
email.  Please consider this email as an acknowledgement.

Thank you for taking the time to write and please be assured that your
comments will be read by the Minister.  Due to the high volume of
enquiries at this time, processing time may take longer than normal.

You may also find the following websites useful:

o [1]https://covid19.govt.nz/
o [2]Immigration New Zealand website
o [3]Employment New Zealand website;
o [4]WorkSafe website;
o [5]ACC website

If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio responsibilities,
expresses a personal view or is copied to multiple Members of Parliament,
then your opinion will be noted and your correspondence may be transferred
to another office, or there may be no further response to you.

Your patience is appreciated at this time.

Thank you for doing your part to break the chain and stop the spread of
COVID-19.

Remember, staying at home saves lives.  Avoid moving out of your
neighbourhood, and when you do go out for exercise, stay two meters away
from others.

Remember. You can make a huge difference by checking in on older relatives
or vulnerable people over the phone and just having a chat.

For the latest health information and advice on COVID-19, please visit

Stay home, save lives.
