No, we want to avoid spending millions rescing fools, so that we can instead use to the money to help people in poverty all over the word, incuding in NZ.
There is finite money. If some of it is wasted on expensive rescues of incompetent romantic adventurers, there's less for other purposes. Simple.
Agreed, my point is that instead of spending money on these fools, we should just STOP responding when they get in distress...SINK OR SWIM. Don't make it OUR problem.

Within our home are walls of caves, but we have the capability to mould matter as we like. We create caverns, clean caverns, with various elements and crystals. We have enormous caverns like you have never discovered and crystals larger than any you’ve seen or made. We have walls of crystal used for viewing consciousness Itself, Gajun, as SeRen#ha or SaLuSa might notate. Our lightsources are living beings: moss, algaes, phosphorescent beings. Our world is clean to us but there is a mustiness so we have heard – and to answer a different question we do have visitors from Earth surface and from other Galactic entities.
The air we breathe is composed of oxygen, 61%, Nitrogen 18%, Sulfur 12% and various other small percentage minerals and elements; we have no pollution and our atmosphere, as it were, is constantly balanced and pure, again maintained by living beings of Essence and typicality

Maybe NZ is just tired of rescuing the stupid people that go down there to look at the snow.

Sometime in the 40's after he got back from the pacific he changed commands and got sent on some trip there when he was in the navy. Now as I'm older I read about it and whaddya know pops was telling us the truth
Well, there are the Dry Valleys, but the further you go inland there are kilometres (thickness) of ice.

Whaddaya know, Pops wasn't telling the truth!
I know people who have worked at the South Pole, at McMurdo and at Scott Base and Mawson. I know the head ofGateway Antarctica at Canterbury University as well as the executive secretary of COMNAP. They will also disagree with your Pops.
Also, related to the OP: Rogue Antarctic Trip
One of the many reasons people need permits to visit Antarctica is due to Biosecurity.
