As much as I admire Ms Bellis for doing what she does ("attractive journalist in war-torn country"), she's starting to grind my gears.
She leaves NZ multiple times to ply her trade overseas. Goes to Afghanistan and stays there despite multiple warnings that "Hey, this place might not be safe". She gets worldwide fame for being a mysterious blonde woman that dared to ask a question at a press conference. Gets knocked up by a Belgian and desperately tries to come home except MIQ gets in the way. Whinges publicly, and says how it's unsafe for her to stay in Afghanistan. Government says try applying in a different category for when it's unsafe to stay in a country, and and now she reckons it would be insincere to do that because Afghanistan have been nice to her.
Lady, you can't keep swapping horses in the home straight. Pick one.
