All bar one of the New Zealand arrivals remain in hotel quarantine, with the child traveller in a "quarantine arrangement" with a family member.
Mr McGowan described the situation as "fluid" and said the State Government was "doing our best to manage it". "We would like further assistance from the Commonwealth, in particular, about making sure that … we get proper manifests and proper advice as to those people that are coming in, so we can deal with these situations."
Lockem up,
Wow, how about the kiwi travellers who would have been fully informed at every step being personally held accountable for flouting the restrictions instead of politicising it even further.
He’s closed his states’ border, his job to monitor it.
'A Federal Government spokesperson says the travel bubble is operating 'exactly as it was outlined'.(ABC News: James Carmody.)' look at photo. they are using a useless temperature scanner. so ScottMorrisonMP know nothing about COVID19
AND Up to 55 New Zealand arrivals are now believed to have landed in Victoria since the bubble began. ScottMorrisonMP is a moron.
GailCoastie I want to know what destinations these tourists put on their Immigration cards. This transTasman bubble deal is another disaster botched up by the Federal Govt. It is also preventing Australians returning into those quarantine beds now being taken up by foreign tourists
It was 55 into Victoria! What a shambles that Border Force (BF) is! A repeat of the 'Ruby Princess' debacle. Will Dutton resign? Of course not. Libs do not resign. They are 'born to rule'.
It's not a travel bubble. That implies reciprocity. Can't be a half bubble. The bubble doesn't exist, just more meaningless babble from Morrison.
This is how we got COVID in the first place, massive stuff ups by authorities, and the general public suffered police infringements for distancing breaches but not infecting anyone ?
Thanks Premier
It’s a setup to open borders
Karma. Bastards.
Tudge and Dutton not worth a squirt of goat shit
Might as well open the border then. Or at least let us out.
Moronic WA and Vic government
ScottMorrisonMP s playing games for a political agenda..... he might like to remember that the WA and Vic constituents will remember his games come election time!
Open borders will get us all killed.
Isn’t NZ safe though? Why the worry?
Ok for foreigners to enter WA not Aussies open the borders..... selfish and arrogant
Haha! Take that WA! Sleazy, infested Kiwi human bug carriers have penetrated your little kingdom!
Not really a travel bubble is it.
So what? They’re coming from a Covid free country. No risk. McGowan and Dan’s reaction just highlights the lefts love of illogical rules to impose Orwellian authority.
OMG Mark Macgowan! Hunt them down! Oh wait, that’s right, NZ is Covid free! You don’t think they should be more worried about coming to Oz! Oh did anyone tell you it’s a virus and is here to stay? You’ll be remembered for killing one of our most important industries, aviation🙄
MdmAbsentMinded Morrison is trying to force his 'herd immunity' bullshit onto the states Not at all acceptable
MdmAbsentMinded The bubble has burst. It's either appalling incompetence by this Federal Government or it's a deliberate attack on States rights. Either way it is UNACCEPTABLE and dangerous to our public health, AND our economy. 'OPENING up' to Covid-19 won't help the economy but it WILL kill
Minister Tudge is a liar. WA should put those travellers back on a plane and charge ABF the costs. Border Force are useless
Seems like this incompetent federal government has lost control of our national borders. Hopefully the people smugglers don't catch wind of this and start flooding Australia with sucker willing to pay their fees. auspol
Just a question, but wouldn’t the remaining passengers from NSW, be more risk than the kiwis, given NZ has largely been COVID free?
To use another twits words please explain how you Mr premier let this happen the other states didn't have their borders shut this my boy is on you
Miest by turroreests heh?
ja_dut Dan’s fault too, I’m assuming ? 🤷♀️
Now we have problem with people coming from NZ where there is no community transmission. Seems like both State and Federal Leaders have lost to plot completely and are only engaging in politics this is getting ridiculous day by day !!
so very easy to burst Morrison's bubble!!
Just wondering is this Dansfault? stupidallantudge
Morrison and Dutton can't manage borders, can't manage quarantine, that is where the whole Covid problem began for Australia...the galactic incompetence of the Morrison government strikes again.
SackScottMorrison for his massive failures in not only preventing the virus from entering our borders after ignore CSIRO warnings, but keeping us all at risk by allowing foreigners to enter our borders and roam our country.
W T F?
So were they approved to enter WA through G2G? Not clear from story. Plenty of people have been knocked back from within Australia.
Shut the bubble down. The Kiwis can only go to NSW and NT. That’s it. Deport them.
ScottMorrisonMP you’re just hopeless Got no foresight auspol
WTF where is ScottMorrisonMP ScottyFromMarketing and PeterDutton_MP?
Don’t worry, the Federal Government will figure out who to scapegoat ScottyFromMarketing
The travel bubble is a not workable, the Trans Tasman Agreement is no longer fit for purpose, NZ does not want any Australians entering NZ This fiasco is being pushed by the tourist industry deluded in the belief Kiwis are coming here as tourists, they want jobs & accommodation
Just embarrassing especially after Border security has learnt nothing from the Ruby princess disaster
!!!!
The only issue is if WA let them in, even with hotel quarantine. Aussies from other States cant get into WA!! This is turning into a shit show!
Heck. Australia being like one country again. Who’d a thunk?
PM says “I don’t fly the plane, mate”.
And Tudge says no one in the AHPPC had enough sense to raise the issue of interstate travel when discussing the NZ travel bubble. Either everyone in the AHPPC is an idiot or Tudge is a liar. Which is more likely?
This guys another Socialist labor idiot.......time we dug a channel South to North, right across Australia and they can become their own Country.
Well it'll be your own fault as per some email Judge sent you and why don't you have ESP you lousey Premier who's clearly a dictator, I mean just look at your behaviour! No-one in WA wants what you're dishing up Its irrational anti-economy Just ask Fed LNP ....etc
Why are all the Labor run states behaving as they are a country in their own right? Vic QLD, WA all wannabe dictators using the Chinese Virus to isolate their state from the rest of the country and the world and crush business and employment
Not a great sign when repatriation flights due to begin - wonder where they will end up?
Grrrrr
Border Force & Federal Govt. It's been [0] Days since we last dropped the ball.
Border Force & Federal Govt.... keeping us safe since.... (checks watch)... 🤦♂️
This is why we needed a royal commission into Ruby Princess. Nothing was learned, and Border Force is still not working. Whats going to happen when 25000 ex-pats begin to return in large numbers?
What a mess! ABF again, but let’s blame labour premiers, much tidier.
Handled with more dignity than moronic dandrews. They've come from a virus free place - what's the big deal? Let them in ffs. Families need to be reunited.
Another federal government and LiberalAus failure for Labor states to clean up. auspol
More Stuff ups, Tudge and Borderforce need to better manage this, or is this the Fed Govt way of getting the borders open by allowing unauthorised entry of states that didn't agree to the bubble A Shifty lying Fed Govt. ResignTudge ExplainTudge ExplainMorisson
We need to have a clear system in place for the travel bubble. NZ is clean and the problem may not be as big. But what about next? We are in discussion with many countries now and none of them has fully eliminated covid like NZ
So is this Dan’s fault too?
It's amazing how our federal govt was so anti NZ taking any refugees from our off-shore detention centres in case they then border-hopped back to Australia. Yet when the travel bubble was established between NZ, NSW & the NT they then totally disregarded border control!! Inept!!
Obviously the National and State Govs need better communication. Plans need to be properly drafted before they are executed.
More state Labor bungling. They have a public service that is three times bigger than it should be, and still can’t get anything right.
These Two again ducking their Responsibilities & MIA! Biosecurity Act puts them Firmly in the Frame as Guilty of Neglecting their Duties!
Oh ffs NZ has got no community transmission of COVID-19. Politicians such as the WA premier really need to reflect on the current virus situation and contemplate a long terms solution for all Australians and NZ residents!
It’s all WA’s fault.
What a fucking disaster this bubble bursting is turning out to be!! And all we have is Fudge smugness and PM MIA Morrison nowhere to be seen. Waiting for MSM to go after this?
DanielAndrewsMP was initially told just 17 arrived in Vic now it is 55 How can MarkMcGowanMP do his job & keep WA safe if borderforce & Dutton don't tell us the truth & let people slip through KKeneally westaustralian
Best to stop this travel bubble, reset, clarify and notify NZ of every individual states expectations and restart.
Will fudge make up another letter story. Such an incompetent MP, you'd think he'd learn and improve.
Ah ok so Dan Andrews getting angry about this is his fault... whose fault is it here, hey federal govt and Murdoch media?
This is what happens when your PM works Mon-Thurs. No wonder he was so cranky having to work this Friday.
GotoTakahashi
The travel bubble needs to be suspended IMMEDIATELY and until such time that Border Force can do their jobs. OK.. borders will be closed forever! 17 Kiwis arrived in Melbourne (now more than 50) despite Dan saying NO. Co-incidence that this happened in Labor States?
scott playing vandal and using tudge to do it
Who f...ng cares? There’s NO Covid in NZ. This is catastrophising nothing for political purposes
Dan Andrews trying to create a politicial distraction from his series of historic stuff ups in Victoria. If NZ people come to WA...who cares? They get quarantine like everyone else...
This deliberate. We need to investigate why the Federal would want to reinfect us.
On a personal note ,I am deeply saddened about these reactions. It seems noone will be ever good enough to travel into Australia from overseas and that is effective life-in-prison sentence for people like me whose family is overseas. borderwars exposed the lack of compassion.
Dan's been at it again! 😉 Looking forward to Tudge's BS response.
Oh no. Kiwis on the loose
ScottMorrisonMP and the Federal Government have really stuffed up the arrangements with travellers from NZ. What does AlanTudgeMP have to say about the WA issue?
Perth or WA pffft ! Why would someone wanna go there to begin with! The most isolated city in the world! And their premier is making it look like it’s precious heaven!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
So how is it that Kiwis can enter WA but family in SA can’t visit relatives in WA. This is ridiculous
Is Trudge sure there’s only 25 and they’re all in WA, and not one in Byron Bay? Trudge wouldn’t be able to keep track of his car keys 🙄 probably blames his partner when he looses them too 🤣
It’s actually 55 people who travelled from SYD to MEL with one in Byron Bay
Close the travel bubble until these breaches can be stopped
Why NZ has no COVID 19 cases
Passengers from NZ can onward travel interstate freely, and yet OZ needs to quarantine..what a joke
So Tudge says Victoria was at these meetings that it was all agreed to Was WA kept in the dark as well Think this may bite Tudges bum cheeks They really need a diet in the LNP as the butt shift every mistake they make And Morrison gets Stern He's a weak excuse for a man Bully
Tudge says the “Gold Standard” is working as designed
Who cares just open up
Our Federal Government........a government responsible for absolutely nothing......except for laying the blame on others.
Makes a mockery of this comment from AlanTudgeMP “It is completely within control of state governments to determine who comes into their state. Eg: WA works with airlines so people in Sydney can’t fly to WA without a permit”
Wow!!!!!!! Crime of the century !!!!😱😱😱😱😱
McGowan should get on the blower and ask the Feds to explain this cockup.
Was this on the Agenda to be discussed for the National Cabinet, which Morrison chose to defer because he couldn't find secure communications in Cairns, despite HMAS Cairns having some?
great move by federal government how about quarantine
Did these travellers have a Quarantine Exemption to enter WA (and thus it was all approved upfront) or did they arrive without following the established process?
I sincerely hope that when the NSW to NZ direction of the travel bubble is introduced the NZ authorities and politicians will be just this 'welcoming' as VIC and WA are and anyone who transited via Syd to fly to Nz will be detained and made an example of..borderwars
'Mr McGowan said the passengers had been detected through the Government's G2G app, adding it was 'not an ideal situation' SloMo asleep in the deck chair again ! How people rate that idiot is mind-boggling.
Oh no! Invaded by people from a place that eliminated the virus a while ago. Get over it.
ScottMorrisonMP should leave covid19 to the premiers, and go for a permanent holiday to Hawaii.
Stephen77056387 I wonder how that could of happened 🤔🤷♂️🙄
Thought you have to show that you have got a certificate before you jump on a plane to go into Western Australia, if the airlines are checking, I might try my luck too .
so much for our HARD BORDER when 25 kiwi's can just fly over like this. wtf?
GoldStandardTudge
WTF!!! What a stuff up!!
the Federal Government is the enemy of the people..
They screwed it up already🙃
AlanTudgeMP when hearing this report
At least they're not Victorians. Well done stopping them in their tracks.
Must be one of those mystery flights people are taking...where you could end up anywhere...like Perth.
Well lock them up Mark you have my full support.
What's wrong with the federal's communication with all the states? Before you said VIC didn't say no and now it seems WA has no idea with them coming as well. ScoMo government sucks!!!!
jillethelmurray Who is controlling these arrivals - oh it must be Dan Andrews because of course Borderforce would never be so lax as to allow people to get off a plane and go wherever they like without any warning to the states they are going to. sounds a bit like Ruby Princess all over again.
Move aside MarkMcGowanMP ... gabriellaapower meeds to interrogate your CHO.
AlanTudgeMP you gonna blame Dan and Brett for these ones too?
This is the point Andrews has been trying to make, yet people are trying to blame him or say that he is trying to distract. What’s the point of having a bubble if it’s open slather and there are no systems & process in place ?
I am not sure what the problem is. Kiwis can enter Australia via NT and NSW as per the arrangement. Once in Australia they are bound by the individual states and territories border restrictions, the same as all Australians. Am I missing something? 🤷♂️
This story needs to be updated.
how many got into QLD?
Dan was wrong it seems, even closed borders isn't enough to protect you from the incompetence of Border Farce. Obviously we need to sack Dan so then he can DanForPM
Wait. Is this supposed to happen?
