New Zealand passport holders should be able to come and go as they please. The special relationship that the Cook Islands has with NZ is effectively a one way street without restrictions. Whereas the relationship NZ has with the Cook Islands, comes with a qualifier. That is inequitable. You can't have your cake and expect to eat it, all said and done. Cook Islanders are enriched by the relationship with NZ. When they are in the Cook Islands they are Cook Islanders. Once they clear immigration and board that plane for international travel, they become NZers. It doesn't work the same way for NZers.
