The proposal has turned into a significant diplomatic incident as AQIS is demanding that all kiwis to be placed in quarantine bins on arrival like other domestic flights in Australia. The contents of these bins are disposed of by incineration.

The NZ government said they have not heard of anything as abhorrent as incinerating Kiwis and the AQIS requirement being the most significant act of international delinquency in Australian international diplomatic history. NZ plans to raise the issue with the Secretary-General of the UN who is a closet Kiwi fan.
