'Trans-Tasman bubble' could mean direct New Zealand flights for Tasmania if coronavirus eases - ABC News

A "trans-Tasman bubble" could result in direct flights between Tasmania and New Zealand for the first time in more than 20 years, the state's premier says.What do I do if I think I have coronavirus?

Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein told a media conference this morning such an arrangement could be advantageous for the state. "This is not going to happen tomorrow, it's not going to happen next week, but as we work our way through the course of this calendar year, if the opportunity arises … if we have confidence we can have flights … then that's an opportunity that we can look at, and one that I'm looking to pursue," he said.

Trans-Tasman travel bubble 'has an enormous amount going for it' | Sky News AustraliaTourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond says the idea of a trans-Tasman travel bubble “has an enormous amount going for it”. \n\nA trans-Tasman bubble allowing Australians and Kiwis to travel between countries will be on the agenda when New Zealand's Prime Minister joins today's national cabinet teleconference.\n\nThe Tourism and Transport Forum CEO told Sky News there was an enormous amount of work being done to facilitate the plan. \n\n“I think it’s important to understand that New Zealand is still our second biggest market, in fact it’s only in the last 12 to 18 months that China beat New Zealand as being our biggest group of inbound,” Ms Osmond said. \n\nMs Osmond said it was especially important following a horror year for the industry which was already devastated by the bushfires. \n\n“Essentially from the tourism industry’s perspective, we’ve had the ultimate perfect storm, the double whammy to end them all,” she said. No. Its opening up the back door round Australia's borders. NZ is already hiding illegal immigrants. E.g Behrouz Boochani.

Ardern to discuss ‘Trans-Tasman bubble’ with National Cabinet | Sky News AustraliaNZ Jacinda Ardern says she will discuss implementing a 'Trans-Tasman bubble' with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and state and territory leaders when she attends a National Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.\n\nThe 'bubble' would allow the current border restrictions between the two nations to be relaxed in order to allow greater trade and travel between Australia and New Zealand.\n\nMost experts believe worldwide international travel will not commence until there is a vaccine for the novel coronavirus, which is likely at the very least a year away.\n\nMs Ardern said while the prospect of greater travel between New Zealand and Australia is exciting, the Trans-Tasman border will not be implemented in the 'very near future.' \n\n'As you can imagine we want to lock in the gains that all New Zealanders have helped us achieve and make sure to have health precautions in place to make sure we do this safely and well,' she said.\n\n'I do want to moderate expectations, but the fact that we are in a position as countries to even have this conversation is a huge advantage for both of us.'\n\nBoth Australia and New Zealand have achieved remarkable success in tackling COVID-19.\n\nIn New Zealand, there have only been 1,137 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 1,276 people recovering from the disease while 20 people have sadly perished.\n\nThe curve has rapidly flattened in Australia as well, with only 984 active cases in the country.\n\nMs Ardern also welcomed the 'unprecedented' move to attend the National Cabinet meeting.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison extended the invitation to his Kiwi counterpart after a phone conversation last week.\n\nIt is expected Ms Ardern will also discuss New Zealand’s response to COVID-19 and Australia’s contract tracing app. \n\nImage: Getty jacindaardern ScottMorrisonMP The weak link is flights coming into NZ from Pacific.
