Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
Last week the Government left it to officials to announce, late one evening, that MIQ room release has been postponed due to the "unprecedented number of Omicron cases".
The Government says pausing the next allocation of managed isolation rooms for those entering the country is a "temporary position" while MIQ was under "extreme pressure" from those returning with the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
With no MIQ spots available in the near future, overseas workers with visas can only wait, leaving farmers without much-needed help.
