NZ hasn’t opened a bubble with the whole of Australia because their own requirements is 28 days of no community transmission in Australia. Something that hasn’t happened yet.
The Federal Government opened borders to NZ based on the hotspot definition. Then closed the border with one hour notice to NZ for a single case.
NZ is now looking at a travel bubble with states that follow their own elimination strategy. At this stage only Queensland and WA. The NZ, Queensland and WA governments know where they stand. A single case appears anywhere and the borders close.
Don’t forget the little ole NT accepting Kiwis..... Is that reciprocal? Have any Kiwis actually ventured North? Was a big hit in the media then went quiet, well yes I suppose it is the NT after all.
