It's funny how people treat words differently. To me, "fell pregnant" seems fine. To others, it's problematic. Not sure what phrasal verb in the past tense I should be using to describe someone getting pregnant. They all sound similar? Became, got, etc.
Guide me.
Back to the matter at hand, unsurprisingly, I see that Chris "First Class Cretin" Luxon is now saying that all pregnant woman should be able to skip MIQ. It's a no-brainer, apparently.
Anyone care to spot the fairly obvious flaw to this cunning plan of his? Aside from the fact that he seemingly is now behind the idea of MIQ, do we really want people getting pregnant (or, ahem, pretending to get pregnant) just so they can quickly enter the country? That feels like a bad idea to me, but what would I know...
