Obviously it would be up to the governments to decide their date to enact it, but the infectious disease expert mused that 28 days with no new cases excluding incoming traveler cases might be what's required to do it and that we could be there in 2 months.

Fiji and the Pacific Islands are apparently lobbying hard to be apart of this too.
I am picking there will be a Raro / Niue / NZ bubble before Australia.

Australia will be hit and miss. NSW says 1st June they will be ready to open internal borders. WA say "September at the earliest". Queensland not going to be rushed in to it. Victoria opening up travel internally instead in June and probably most likely to jump on the bubble with NZ when NSW does.

Who knows. Raro sounds nice for a winter break!
