This is true, but again I would compare restrictions relative to the severity of COVID outbreak.
Other countries have much longer/stronger restrictions, but they have also had much more severe outbreaks.
The government seems to be very slow to come around on changing their COVID strategy, especially given that the stakes are pretty low in NZ relative to other countries.

I think the perfect time would be when effective oral anti-virals are readily available, they are just around the corner. The average daily cases are increasing and the 4th/5th wave (depending on location) is ramping up now - exactly the wrong time for a country like NZ to change international quarantine.
