MIQ vacancies are being snapped up in seconds, with no availability through to November.
“People probably have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves whether that is the right thing to be doing,” Robertson said.
MIQ was an important service for people returning home and the booking system had been designed in such a way that it could not be gamed by bots, he said.
But it was harder to distinguish between individuals booking on behalf of others because there was no way to know who was operating the computer, he said.

Third party website profiting off MIQ system nearly triples fees to $980 within 24 hours

MBIE says it has no record of contracting Ceefa Software and will ask the company to remove its logos from its website.
Athfield also claims to have invited MBIE to a presentation about the “applicant management system” it's developed in order to determine whether it breaches MBIE regulations that forbids software from scanning or operating its website. MBIE has not addressed
Stuff’s questions about this.

People are allowed to pay others to book MIQ spots for them but MIQ’s administrators say it’s a case of “buyer beware”.
Rachel Fagan, a New Zealand citizen in Thailand, said two months ago she secured a place in MIQ for September, but now that the Covid-19 situation in Thailand had deteriorated she wanted to return home earlier.

Cashing in on MIQ: Online business charging desperate returnees more than $350 to secure a spot

In email correspondence with one customer Athfield says he invited MBIE to a presentation about the company and the “applicant management system” it's developed in order to determine whether it breaches MBIE regulations that forbids software from scanning or operating its website.
An MBIE spokeswoman said it had not found any record of Ceefa Software in its contract or vendor systems.
“We will work with the company to have our logo removed from their website.”
She did not address questions about whether MBIE was invited to meet with Athfield.
