No problem as they just do a phone interview according to said officer. I don't have any family in NZ.

Just had a follow up call from Nelson police, saying that I cant use sis as a referee as they need to do face to face interview. I point out the lack of family in NZ, and that my ex is unlikely to speak very well of me if I put her name down.

I have now been told to put down the name of someone that knows me well, and is preferably local.
Seems they make they change the rules to suit

Bullshit. What about us.
