Interesting comment by Jacinda was that international border opening discussions happened FIRST with Singapore, and THEN Australia.
That may have been because Singapore used to be doing quite well, now, not so much but they do highlight the dangers of the second wave.

Starting to see a lot of chatter about a Aus-NZ travel bubble now, I don't think it will happen for ski season as some are hoping (nor do I think there will be a ski season as we know it) but I think by August or so we should be able to get something happening, maybe a bit earlier for business travel, bit later for tourism
