All borders to reopen.
Fortress NZ has never been a better idea since the days of no airplanes and people arrived on ships.
We didn't have anywhere near the number of whining Australians then either.
How can you tell when a flight from Australia has arrived? The whining doesn't stop when the engines are shut down

Lol. How do you know you’re interacting with a Kiwi? Because of the enormous chip on their shoulder towards Australia! It’s a national inferiority complex. It was embarrassing 35 years ago when I lived in NZ for a time, it’s still embarrassing. Seriously, get help.
It because we have become very superior to Australians.
We won't even deport Australian lawbreakers!
The Leader of the Opposition is, of course saying we should reopen this afternoon, or at latest tomorrow
EUREKA !!
Monday, April 19th, is ' De Day' according to Jacinda.....

A bit off topic, but what has happened to Section 28? Griffo’s style makes me think he’s S28 in cameo. I miss the almost daily assaults on the Queen’s English that S28 offered.
In the case of the airports,

Wouldnt it easiest to operate bubble flights out of the domestic terminals ? Realistically only airports which need separation are SYD/MEL/BNE/AKL (Maybe PER if they join). (I know HBA / ADL / CBR operate a few internationals but not many and are single terminal anyway)
Considering neither AU or NZ domestic flights require international security standards, why bother for bubble. Just have a few passport readers and limited bio-security, shouldnt be a huge issue for trans tasman.

I remember around the time Kevin Rudd was Prime Minister they were relatively advanced in discussions about doing just this. I would have thought technology advances (Smartgate pods etc) would make this even more feasible now. But might be a bit hard to implement in such short notice...

And yet the WHO is still clinging to their position discouraging vaccine proof for travel. They cite a hand-wringing concern over the UN's claimed right of freedom of movement, despite this never being a real right enjoyed by real people. The WHO had one job in a pandemic at which they failed miserably, and now they compound their ineptitude.

Most airports looked at doing International from Domestic terminals when foreign (and AUS) lockouts decimated the flight numbers, but cost and intransigence from the govt. agencies knocked that on the head. Domestic has recovered to pretty much make that unworkable at most ports now anyway.
