Mountain Scene
By MATTHEW MCKEW
A call for Queenstown cabbies to have early access to the Covid-19 vaccine’s been heard, just a day after
Mountain Scene reported it.
On Thursday
Scene reported cabbies, who pick up passengers at Queenstown Airport, were fuming they weren’t not being prioritised for Covid vaccinations because they’d been deemed low-risk.
But staff at rental car companies, operating from inside the airport terminal, have been offered the jab.
The owners of two of the bigger taxi companies in the resort had pleaded for the Ministry of Health to recognise the risk drivers faced of both catching and spreading the virus from airport pick-ups.

A NZ Police recruitment video launched in 2019. Her arrival in the region was in the wake of significant conflict between the Timor Leste police and the military, and the killing of eight police officers. Her work there was recognised with a Queen’s Service Medal, awarded in 2008. Southern District Commander Superintendent Paul Basham said Enoka brought vast experience, knowledge and a passion for the area to the role. “Her outstanding leadership qualities have been on display in our district for a number of years now, and she has built strong, positive relationships since arriving in Queenstown.”
