Re the decision to boot out Martyn Payne, this is just plain unbelievable, ridiculous, cruel and inhumane. It simply does not make financial sense getting rid of a business that turns over 2 million dollars a year in case of a "potential" $25k health bill....it does not add up in any shape or form. Martyn will have spent close to that amount fighting for his right to stay in NZ and has even offered to pay his own way in the unlikely event he will need medical care. The stress placed upon him by the authorities is frankly inhumane and public opinion has clearly NOT been considered. Our government is here to serve the people and I trust common sense will prevail and Martyn duly granted PR, not only on humanitarian grounds, but also for the future contribution he will no doubt make to NZ long term, in the running of his business.

I have believed that New Zealand was a country which cared about people not one out to split up a family and cause stress and despair to a man who has given such a lot to his adopted country. Write - email Nikki Kaye the associate minister of Immigration - to grant Martyn Payne residency here so that he can be with his family and carry on his business.

I'm appalled at the treatment dished out to Martyn . He's a hardworking individual who's contributed so much to the economy here in the north.It's such an injustice !

It is hard enough finding people to work in our industry as it is without the government sending someone away who has a fantastic record of setting up an excellent business, employing people and being an asset to the motor industry. You have our full backing Martyn, stay strong and stay in a country that needs you!
