NZ domestic demand is back up to 70% of pre covid, whats Australia ? 5 - 10%? Less?
NZ is a lot smaller and the Govt there had the luxury of not having to deal with 6 States and one Territory who actually control what goes on within their borders and are extremely protective of outside interference.

“There has been more outbreaks in other parts of Greater Sydney and that will now become another declared hot spot … effective from 1am Saturday morning and we have done that so we can give notice to Queenslanders,” Ms Palaszczuk said today.
Commissioner Carroll alleged Ms M and Ms L were "well involved" in the Melbourne party and received infringement notices while in Victoria.
She also alleged the girls spent "an awful amount of time planning how they were going to deceive and be deceitful".
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said one of the teens was not cooperating with authorities in providing her whereabouts while infectious.
"I am very about the second individual who has not been cooperative and has not shared with us where she has been," Dr Jeannette Young said.
"So we have not been able to contact those venues and we will continue to work with that individual and hopefully get information."
Commissioner Carroll said she was "bitterly disappointed" at their alleged actions.
Ms M and Ms L have been issued with $4000 fines and would front court, she said.
Queensland health authorities alleged the two 19-year-olds visited shops, restaurants and workplace in the state's south east over the eight days since their return.
