After checking the article from Risky-san I then learned that Mr Page is an NZ resident now.
Seems he played it by the rule book as the Kiwis made it.

Your team generally defends actions like this, which would make it surprising that you would criticize this, but that surprise disappears when you realize the context is that New Zealander's elected a leftist government, and you are a hyper-partisan right-wing extremist. Hyper-partisans determine guilt by political affiliation, so it's unsurprising that you are critical of this decision which you would have supported had someone like Trump done it.
Now that all said, if I were a New Zealander, I would definitely want more clarification from my government to understand the reasoning behind this.

This is literally the only thing that motivates me to pretend I give a crap about this corporate game I've fallen into.

LOL! You nearly had me there for a second. It's a joke, right?
It would be tragic. It wouldn't be ironic.

Arden and her allies are bought and paid for by the big tech elites. Foreign citizens get preferential treatment over her fellow countryman- follow the corporate cash.

One law for the rich and powerful, another for us proles. Such things are good indicators of corrupt regimes.
Privacy is now being used to cover up a lot in NZ. It is even used to protect convicted killers.

Par for the course. There are rules for us peasants, and there are rules for the globalist elite.

If any of the readers or posters here have $120 billion, I am sure the New Zealand government will make an exception for you too.

If New Zealand weren’t letting it’s own back in when there are family circumstances etc that would be strange.
Seems common sense to let someone in if their kid is sick.

How so?
In any case he will go through the normal 2 week quarantine with covid tests like everyone else.

This isn't unusual at all. You may have noticed NZ hosted the America's Cup earlier this year. How did the foreign competitors get in you ask. Several films are being made in Wellington. If you make your case, you can get an exemption.

Umm, no. 99% are happy about these rules, because they mean freedom.
Haaa Nemui
Not in NZ.
Wakarimasen
It would be ironic if he brings covid with him

Lets not be so niave. Anyone is welcome anywhere and at anytime, if they are suitably wealthy. You can see yourself the amount of private aviation traffic going all over the world with their 'elite' passengers.

If one is reach enough, one can go anywhere they like, space and yes, even New Zealand...
