    Ask your mum why she did it?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    The premise of citizenship is the main issue. An "industry", if you like.
    Then there is the issue of access into Australia...

    I thought that women in their 3rd trimester weren't allowed to fly by the airline companies.

    It seems weird to me why women would put the stress on their unborn children and themselves.

    As I understand it from the news story, she wasn't heavily pregnant when she arrived here for a 4 month holiday. During her stay, a problem was identified with her pregnancy and she was advised not to travel. Totally understandable by the sounds of it. Her insurance company will cover the medical costs and she will return home after the birth.

    The reason they come here is simple. As bad as our health system may look to us, it's a hell of a lot better than anything they may have in their own country.

    I understand that you can fly (in Europe) up to 2 weeks before full term.

    I guess the months must have just passed without her noticing her belly was getting bigger.

    She must know her baby will not have any rights to NZ Citizenship.

    What a bunch of piss takers.

    pregnant tourists

    As a non resident she will be expected to pay for her hospital costs however the $$ are not requested up front.
    I would like to add that although it will not go down well that we have a health system doing its best for mother and baby and trying to collect the $$ . immigatration could have done a better job here me thinks

    What everyone has overlooked, is the fact that the lady travelled for a short term visit here - then became an overstayer who wouldn't leave. Now the bleeding heart brigade has arrived and cranked up the propaganda about how she is being hard done by our system.
    Pahleeease...

    She didn't leave because flying would have put her unborn child at risk. I would have done the same thing. Where is your compassion dude?

    Lithuania is an EU member,I'm sure a Euro citizen has no trouble getting good medical care.
