The Victorian outbreak had put quarantine-free trans-Tasman travel on the backburner afte r a decision came close to being announced in May, Sydney Airport CEO says

Sydney Airport chief executive Geoff Culbert says a travel "bubble" between Australia and New Zealand probably won't be possible until November or December because of the second wave of COVID-19 infections in Victoria.to help his airport through the pandemic, said that the Victorian outbreak had put quarantine-free trans-Tasman travel on the backburner after a decision came close to being announced in May.

Mr Culbert said the Victorian outbreak, which prompted several state borders to close again, showed how uncertain the recovery for aviation would be and called for better co-ordination between states, clearer rules on border closures and a plan to restore air travel.

Sydney Airport said the $2 billion of capital raised from shareholders will reduce its net debt from $9.1 billion to $7.1 billion, with its leverage falling from 6.8 times and 5.3 times; support its investment grade credit rating and increase liquidity.

I don’t think any of you realise that the common cold is a coronavirus that has not had a successful vaccine in 40 years. We can’t hide from it, we can’t run. It’s here to stay. It’s the weak and the old who should be locked up.

Another pointless story & sniping from the sidelines by Costello's LNP Pravda. We have states closing borders all over the country (Qld won't accept people from NSW & ACT) but you just can't help yourselves. Cheap, worthless tabloid pap.

you do realise there are cases of covid in NZ, stop the click bait.

But they have the plague too. I’m tired of how NZ talks to us. Let’s lock them out for a bit. Send all the kiwis back. I think there a million of them here. Let’s see Jacinda deal with that with the 100 hotel rooms NZ has. Maybe that will teach them some humility

And now after a so called 100 days free NZ announces 4 new cases.
