New Zealand won't be accepting any more applications from Afghan nationals to resettle in New Zealand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) citing the "rapidly deteriorating situation" and lack of time left before the August 31 deadline.
"Our priority for this mission was always a time-sensitive one; to evacuate New Zealand citizens, permanent residents and those at risk due to their association with New Zealand via the criteria set by Cabinet," the ministry said in a statement on Thursday morning.

Forces on the ground are also trying to evacuate Afghan interpreters and others who worked with their countries' troops and may now be the target of Taliban reprisals.

When the Prime Minister is occasionally asked, she bats the question away with a stock answer: she rejected religion in her mid-twenties and never looked back. As far as the public knows, the Prime Minister was brought up as a Mormon but renounced her faith in 2005 - and that was that.

Last week’s dramatic fall of Kabul to the Taliban brought New Zealand troops rushing back to Afghanistan – just three months after its 20-year mission there was to have ended.
