Overweight man kicked out of New Zealand
Created on July 29, 2013
New Zealand Immigration has asked a man to leave New Zealand because he is
overweight.
Albert Buitenhuis, who weighs 130 kilograms, first moved to New Zealand in 2007
from South Africa.
His recent application for a work permit has been dismissed because Albert did not
have “an acceptable standard of health.”
Albert has lost over 70 pounds since moving to New Zealand.
“It is important that all migrants have an acceptable standard of health to minimise
costs and demands on New Zealand’s health services,” New Zealand’s immigration
minister said, pointing out that Buitenhuis is at a high risk for diabetes and
hypertension.
“We applied year after year and there were no issues,” Albert’s wife, Marthie, told
the reporter. “They never mentioned Albert’s weight or his health once and he was
a lot heavier then.”
