New Zealand is second only to China as a source of tourists. In 2018, 1.8 million Kiwis travelled to Australia and spent $2.6 billion.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern have spoken about the prospect of opening up international travel between the two countries.The prime minister, who has given a timeframe of four weeks to mid-May during which it will monitor transmission rates before any restrictions are lifted, said authorities were making "good progress on things like testing kits, personal protective equipment" and other supplies.
"The international situation at the moment is such that any relaxation of border measures would be very risky and we just recommended to the national cabinet only a few days ago that we continue the very restrictive bans." Mr Westaway said he did not expect Australia's borders to reopen to all international travellers anytime this year, but that the New Zealand "bubble" could be activated by the third or final quarter of the 2020 calendar year.
Have no problems with a ANZAC (Australia New Zealand Against Covid) geographic zone being created ... would offer the best of everything
How about Sweden too. It's nearly got herd immunity.
Oh right...so now we can only spend out travel $'s here or NZ, to prop up an industry ScottMorrisonMP destroyed. So if I want to travel to say India and return whats wrong with a test on arrival or quarantine for 14 days. This seems to be bordering on dictatorship.
Hopefully closed until we get a vaccine.
