Their application came at a time when virtually all foreigners were banned due to Covid-19 border restrictions. The pair applied to spend their time in a secluded Waikato property.
Although the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) refused to confirm whether an exemption was granted, the pair have told Vanity Fair they are staying in a hotel.
Their application for an exemption cited concerns over privacy and a concern they would be followed by photographers.

The hall was built by American soldiers in 1942 and used as a recreational facility. It has been used as a home for the Porirua Little Theatre since the 1970s.
Structural problems led to closure in 2012 and six years later the council decided to demolish it.
Now, the council has asked for the process to be put on hold, so they can talk to the community about ways to commemorate the building.

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).
However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.
All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.
It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.
“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.
Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

If you are a pedestrian:
• Wait until the road is clear to cross
• The central refuge is a place to stop safely midway and assess when you can cross further
• Give way to cars and be alert.
If you are driving:
• Slow down and be aware
• Expect pedestrians at these crossings
• Stay alert, especially on Kenepuru Drive as it's a busy construction zone.
