I do hope the publicity helps this couple. Not only have they invested a lot of money, but I imagine they have put in a lot of "sweat equity" as well. Seems like someone at the Department of Immigration needs to get off their well cushioned behind and go see what this couple has actually done. How they can say there is no evidence this business is beneficial to New Zealand is beyond me.

This is so stupid, I can't believe it isn't happening in the US! I thought only absolutely idiotic things like this happened here.
