It’s official: NZ travel bubble deal sealed with NT

DEPUTY Prime Minister Michael McCormack has confirmed a deal for a travel bubble between New Zealand and the Northern Territory. HERE’S HOW IT WILL WORK

AUSTRALIA and New Zealand will create a limited travel bubble — including with the Northern Territory — after final details were hammered out this morning.

A deal has been sealed with Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack currently revealing more details.

It will reportedly only operate one-way initially, meaning New Zealanders will be able to travel to Australia without having to quarantine on arrival, but Australians will not be able to travel to New Zealand.

The travel bubble will likely commence in around two weeks, with 7 News reporting

initial travel will be into the NT and NSW.

Mr Morrison has previously foreshadowed that the bubble would only include states and territories with open borders such as the Territory and New South Wales.

Queensland is unlikely to be included until it relaxes border restrictions.
