The Victorian Premier says 55 New Zealanders who have touched down in Australia have signalled their intention to travel to Victoria, despite the state not agreeing to be part of the trans-Tasman travel bubble.

Daniel Andrews says he is concerned New Zealanders are flying to Melbourne without authorities knowingMr Andrews has written to the Prime Minister asking him to prohibit onward travel of NZ arrivals

Mr Andrews said one of the people whose contact details were given to Victorian authorities had, in fact, gone to Byron Bay, in northern New South Wales."I've got no power to stop them coming in," he said."What was concerning is that a bunch of people turned up and we didn't know about it.

Mr Andrews further threatened stronger action from the state to stop interstate arrivals if his request was not acted on.

Vic DHHS website today. Enough said.

Victorian DHHS website TODAY specifically says NZ arrivals are welcome in Victoria without quarantine if they don’t have covid symptoms. It reiterates the Vic border is open. This is Dan’s website so what’s all the kerfuffle and finger pointing at ABF and Qantas about?

They’re coming from NZ. They haven’t got COVID. God forbid that some international tourists may add something to the economy.

Can't see the benefit of this One Way travel bubble or Scomo just using this way to get the stranded OZ home.

Stop using the term “trans-Tasman” Did you even bother to check with Tasman whether they were trans or whether they preferred to be identified as non-binary? Do better with inclusion 😡😡😡

The bubble seems to have some squeak.

The correct story

Do your research ABC!!! DAN SIGNED on to Australias travel agreement based on a hotspot definition. He signed up to this early September. NZ to VIC met the criteria for travel that Dan agreed to. Travel Permitted. Signed off by DAN. DanLiedAgain

You can’t control the who,e world Dan Andrews neither should you

This is only thing Manchurian Chairman Dan has got right.

Come on ScottMorrisonMP Victorians have done the hard yards. Support and help DanielAndrewsMP and every Victorian!! COVID19Victoria COVID19Aus

I live in South Australia and doubt I'd even be able to drive across.

What the bloody hell are the airlines up to? Who sold the tickets? Utterly ridiculous

I’m devastated. We all know covid is rampant in Nz.

How Kiwis are circumnavigating border controls🐏

IStandWithDan on this one.

So Dutton's mega department has failed to put together a new passenger arrival card and Border Farce are simply waving NZ arrivals through without questioning or confirming their destinations.

Jacinta got re-elected, they are REFUGEES.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan shows the evidence in her two short reports that the coronavirus is manufactured and spread intentionally by the Chinese Communist Party. Video:

Last I checked, Victoria is part of Australia. We really need to drop this border closure nonsense and get back to being a unified nation. If the kiwis are safe enough for skidnee, surely they're okay for us Mexicans?

Victoria’s borders are open. If this was a real issue they’d be closed like WAs are, and arrivals were put in quarantine

How!? How on earth did 25 of them get into WA?

Think the message needs to be made clearer in NZ.

The PM calls this leadership? I think NOT.

These Two again ducking their Responsibilities & MIA! Biosecurity Act puts them Firmly in the Frame as Guilty of Neglecting their Duties!

Dan might need to see a Dr, his severe memory loss recently is becoming concerning.

This is actually making me laugh, our government has no idea what's going on

So maybe if that’s the case why did the airlines allow them to fly domestically ?

Maybe DH Dan has just failed to recall.😂

What a flog, trying to divert away from the real issues in Victoria due to the bungled hotel quarantine program, also amnesia again?

Shut down the bubble until the breaches in Victoria and WA can be stopped

Maybe all commercial flights from NSW to Melbourne need be stopped until Victoria is able to accommodate these NZ visitors and/or NZ workers. Or the Victoria border needs to be closed. This is also an issue the Kiwis , if some of the visiting kiwi's get infected with covid.

Thats Morrison's plan , he dont like the fact that Victorians are doing well with keeping the infections down ,he wants to see infections on the rise so he can point his finger at Dan .

If they were black the Herald Sun would have their faces on the front page tomorrow inciting their moron readership to hunt them down with flaming torches.

Has not signed up or forgot he signed up?

Barnaby Joyce introduced the BioSecurity Act to Cth Parliament in 2015 I think that was during Abbott’s go as PM, before Turnbull ... can’t remember ... but Morrison and Tudge were around Anyway, Cth Government should have a look at it; Section 87 might interest ...

roseyeliz1 The PM him self said it was NZ NT & NSW.

True, only NSW and NT signed up for it. In saying that I am not sure what the problem is? Once in Australia they are bound by the individual states and territories border restrictions, the same as all Australians. Am I missing something? 🤷‍♂️

How did 25 NZ get into WA

Well there is a history of NZer's coming here & not playing by the rules.And boy do they blow up when they get deported(not to mention their govt) auspol nzherald TVNZ COVID19Aus COVID19 SBSNews GuardianAus churr

Travellers from New Zealand caught at Melbourne airport on day one of trans-Tasman bubbleAnother example of ScottyFromMarketing making a song and dance about this great travel bubble but look into the small print and it applies to very little. Enjoy the 2 week quarantining when you go back to NZ my Kiwi friends. How is it possible to get on a plane flying to Melbourne when you are not eligible? How would they get back out? Are planes going to NZ from Tulla? Wouldn’t they be Sydney return?

New Zealanders caught flouting travel bubble rulesSeventeen Kiwi travellers who landed in Sydney have been caught entering Melbourne on day one of a travel bubble set up between NSW and New Zealand. So......Melbourne is stopping healthy ppl from coming in!?!? Which only shows how negligent the federal government has been with its quarantine duties from the beginning of the pandemic. Contracting their constitutional responsibilities to the states should not be tolerated. They should know better. Not good enough.
