Will be interesting to see the prices over the next few weeks pre covid 5 carries done aus to nz regularly.
Latam and Emirates are kinda knocked out of that, just leaves air nz ,virgin, jetstar and Qantas. The demand will be through the roof

Qantas previously said they wouldn't be allowing people on their international flights unless they were vaccinated (and it was expected that other airlines would follow suit). Will this be the case here (in the nz bubble)?

No idea ,everything I've predicted about covid travel has been pretty much wrong lol

You don’t have to wear a mask when sitting at a restaurant or bar but have to wear one when you walk in, order a drink or go to the toilet

Just had the same experience in the Palaszczuk Prison. Went to two outdoor restaurants. No admission without a mask, so you don it, then walk 3 metres to your table where you immediately take it off. I’ve towed the line with C-19 restrictions and have no problem with common sense measures but this is mind-numbingly pointless. Also for contact tracing shouldn’t it be based on in and out times of venues? In Qld you only check in. They have no idea when you leave.

Haha. It’s all just so ridiculous and people are angry. To make a statewide restriction for such a massive state is absurd. She truly is a moron but we already knew that from hearing her speak

Got a leave pass from the mrs for nz , will give it about 2 months to see how they go with the boarder control then hit it

Anna and Mark in a dead heat for leadership dopiness. But typically the crowd is divided - some think they’re doing a great job. They both got re-elected easily, but mostly because they had no opposition in my view. Meanwhile look at all the empty shops with ‘for lease’ signs hanging in them. Yes, Covid killed international tourism and that hurts but the over the top border policy definitely hurt domestic tourism too. The group I was with was supposed to include people from SA who pulled the pin because they have a family wedding next week and didn’t come ‘just in case we can’t get home’. That’s 5 airfares, hotel nights, restaurant meals and other activities the Qld economy just missed out on. But that’s OK, Anna will just put it all on the credit card and it will sort itself out...

In NSW you're meant to check in and check out. But when you go in, you log on to the website and check in. Walk about for 30 minutes. Open the website while leaving and everything has timed out so you can't check out.

I could download the Covid safe app but screw that.

I like that NSW gives you an option to use the website instead of the app though. In Vic when I tried to check in at a few places, it told me I had to download the app. So I just pretended to check in and kept walking.

It’s not the Covid safe app, but the Service NSW app, which I have anyway for my digital licenses so no issue for me as I live in NSW. You check in and out on that app in NSW no matter how far apart time in / time out.

Yes, I was in Vic last week and Qld this week. In Vic (at least where I went) it offered browser or Service Vic app, so I took the browser. Qld is app only, so I used it but deleted it when I left. First world problems .

Scott Morrison spun a Covid vaccine story the public believed – and then it fell apart | Paul Karp

How forgiving are Australians likely to be? If history is any guide, things could get ugly for the prime minister

Exactly right mate. NSW will pay haha. Queensland is like a big retirement home so I’m not surprised she got voted back in. Having no competition helps too

Last local transmission was a result of the Queensland tourists in Byron Bay.. which was April 1st ..so we have had no local transmissions for 9 days Southy.. great to see the Queenslander threat was squashed..

An interesting read

Experts warn it will take two years for world to be vaccinated

As the global COVID-19 vaccination push gains pace there are hopes life will soon return to normal but one expert instead warns the world is entering a “new era”.

All the effort to isolate the virus then to see the roll out fall flat on its face.

Yeah prevent a lot, while not perfect as a country we are going great guns.by doing that it doesn't really matter if there's a 6months setback with vaccine, we can't go anywhere anyway and 6months time more reaseach will be available on vaccines
