Foreign Minister 'working with Pacific friends' for possible bigger bubbleIt is possible that other Pacific nations could join Australia and New Zealand's trans-Tasman travel bubble, Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has said.
The Deputy Prime Minister said it was "very much in Prime Minister [Jacinda] Ardern's court" as to when Australians would be able to visit New Zealand as part of the bubble arrangement. "I know they want to see planes back in the air across the Tasman, because planes in the air means jobs on the ground."Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has said any state or territory which agrees to the Commonwealth's hotspot definition will be allowed to enter a trans-Tasman travel bubble with New Zealand.
"I have spoken to Stephen Marshall in the last half hour, they will probably certainly be the next cab off the ranks," he said.
