A NZ reporter asked **Jacinda Ardern** about why I was [**BLOCKED**](https://www.rebelnews.com/jacinda%5Fardern%5Fdistances%5Fherself%5Ffrom%5Fcall%5Fto%5Fban%5Favi%5Fyemini?e=090caac184b924c7828b965b65075224&utm%5Fsource=therebel&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=ay%5Fletaviin2%5F082222&n=7) from boarding a flight to Wellington to report on an anti-government protest.

My lawyers are [**CONFIDENT**](https://www.rebelnews.com/jacinda%5Fardern%5Fdistances%5Fherself%5Ffrom%5Fcall%5Fto%5Fban%5Favi%5Fyemini?e=090caac184b924c7828b965b65075224&utm%5Fsource=therebel&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=ay%5Fletaviin2%5F082222&n=12) that I had complied with all other requirements to enter the country leaving our **legal team baffled** that the Immigration official, who refused to give her last name or put the reasons in writing, would make that call.

So how else did it happen?

> I’ve travelled the world as a journalist without issue and now all of the sudden I can’t even fly to the country next door! It just doesn’t add up.

But I’m not going to let this stop me from telling the other side of the story about [**what’s happening in NZ**](https://www.rebelnews.com/jacinda%5Fardern%5Fdistances%5Fherself%5Ffrom%5Fcall%5Fto%5Fban%5Favi%5Fyemini?e=090caac184b924c7828b965b65075224&utm%5Fsource=therebel&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=ay%5Fletaviin2%5F082222&n=13).
