Australia's suspension of travel bubble with NZ has been 'another blow' | Sky News AustraliaTourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond says it has been a disappointing start to the year following the federal government's decision to temporarily suspend a travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand. \n\nOn Monday the Morrison government announced it had suspended quarantine free travel after a new case of COVID-19 emerged within the community in New Zealand.\n\n'I think this just is the cherry on top of the cake for the tourism industry,' Ms Osmond told Sky News host Chris Smith. \n\n'Domestic borders have been difficult enough in terms of state borders.\n\n'But now to be facing this kind of uncertainty with international borders as well is just another blow for the industry,' Ms Osmond said.
