IMHO this is largely a political storm in a teacup. There has been limited space in quarantine (MIQ) for returning residents over the past year, though this month there is space going free. A vocal group of people stuck overseas by this bottleneck have made a lot of noise about this (and fair enough too). And it's been amplified by the current government's political opposition, as I mentioned above it's not actually a real issue right now (omicron might change this). The small number of people being granted these residency visas won't get priority in MIQ they'll have to queue with everyone else. What we are seeing here is a small resumption of our normal immigration regime, we're also resuming taking in refugees
