| Subject: Statist Maggots: Breastfeeding mother gets detained by customs over baby food in New Zealand Fri Jan 25, 2019 7:48 pm | |
| On a recent trip to New Zealand with my family (including our two young daughters), we flew out of Melbourne very early and hence packed yoghurt and apples to save some money at the airport and have a healthy breakfast.
On arrival at Auckland Airport, we binned the unconsumed food from our backpack, but on exiting customs, our hand luggage was scanned, showing I'd accidentally left an apple in my handbag. I apologised for the oversight and confirmed we had binned all our other food.
I was marched by security to a holding room, slapped with a court order, or the option to pay $NZ400 on the spot and all would be forgotten.
Next to me in the holding room was a mother, breast-feeding her baby, who had been detained for having a couple of spoonfuls of stewed carrot in her possession.
Needless to say, this soured our holiday and our view of New Zealand.
