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.
as SComo said...if you can’t go from nsw to qld then you most certainly won’t be going from NZ to QLD. Palachook and McGoose don’t control that border.
