Let's just add more sources to what I have already posted in this thread in this for good measure for those of you baffled as to why I think Australia has decided on a Pacific Bubble and why I said it has been "green lit": https://www.sbs.com.au/news/australi...bble-expansion

​​​​​​""Minister for the Pacific Alex Hawke said on Thursday that Pacific nations would be the next to be added to the travel bubble.

"Pacific countries have done an outstanding job of getting ready for COVID and limiting the spread of it in the Pacific, and many of them are still in lockdown," he said on Thursday.

"Prime Minister Morrison and Prime Minister Ardern said once the trans-Tasman bubble is up and running, three to four weeks after, we'll start looking at the Pacific bubble, which is a relatively quick time frame, in my view.""

Are we still "baffled" by my choice of wording for it has been "given the green light"?

"We absolutely support the concept of a Pacific travel bubble" https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/wo...2cb4e68536f64b
