I hope you are right Ollie, but I don’t think the problem is people’s desires or even most peoples finances.
One of the main problems I think,will be the restrictions around travel and where they can go and when . The state premiers have control over their borders now and they love that power and will be very reluctant to give that power back anytime soon. Every day doing a press conference saying how good and strong they are, they love it. The Qld premier was gloating at relaxing COVID restrictions for Mother’s Day, it has become more political now than public health. They will eventually but not until two premiers agree to and then the rest collapse under the weight of public opinion and me tooism. This is where NZ has an advantage and will be a good guide to how willing people are to travel again. Hopefully the NRL won’t be a how to guide for people once they get approval to travel...
