Federal Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham has buoyed hopes Australians would be able to travel to New Zealand again by September if the coronavirus flare-up in Victoria is brought under control.
Mr Birmingham said that Australia would be ready as soon as New Zealand was. While travel industry groups have, Mr Birmingham's comments mark the first time the Australian government has backed that as a viable timeline. New Zealand was the most popular destination for Australian travellers prior to COVID-19, with 1.5 million trips across the Tasman in 2019, which accounted for 40 per cent of all visitors to New Zealand.

Premier's team takes cover over hotel quarantineNo Andrews government minister has taken responsibility for the use of security guards that led to a second surge of the deadly COVID-19 virus in Melbourne. Well that sounds like and looks like a contrived Murdoch kennel headline. If the story doesn't fit the mood reinvent the story. Well done, you have reached the bottom. Katherine Keating daughter of Australian former Prime Minister Paul should be next for the shoulder tap by FBI in Epstein case.. The Health minister and the Police minister, weren't they the architect of this?

Coronavirus update: Global tourism revenue could fall by up to $US3.3 trillionGlobal tourism revenues are expected to fall by up to $US3.3 trillion due to COVID-19 restrictions, with the United States standing to lose the most, according to a UN study, while in Mali, Africa cases are popping up in locations as remote as Timbuktu. Whoever is working at the ABC at 12pm better be paid out the arse. You'd think with the catastrophic policies causing what will be the largest economic crisis, the erosion of freedoms, that we're dealing with a virus that we've never seen before! COVID19 coronavirus pandemic When I see these headlines I think wow, all that money being saved or invested into renewables, or looking after neighbours, or looking after family and friends. I always consider tourism to be the one thing that will slowly destroy the planet, regardless of how right you do it.

Morrison pushes for end to virus border warsBusinesses and tourism operators dismayed at the 'extreme' response to Victoria's COVID-19 outbreak have urged national cabinet to reach consensus on opening state borders. Unnecessary alarmist rhetoric or language - your better than that. So the dangerous mixed messages from Scott Morrison continues. Does he not like us? ScottyFromMarketing LiarFromTheShire AuspolSoCorrupt '[T]he Australian Health Protection Principal Committee... has maintained that domestic borders are not an effective means of containing the virus'. Um, really? Cause Tassie's biggest numbers came from letting in residents who were RubyPrincess passengers. Just saying.
