There is a period of time between 1 January and 1 March. Could we not extend it back to 1 January so that anyone who had a valid Safe Pass after 1 January would also get the extension in the same way as the people whose Safe Pass expired after 1 March? I do not understand why the time was put in so strictly. I know of one person whose Safe Pass expired on 18 February. That person cannot now get work and has turned down four or five jobs in the last three weeks.
