We Say/You Say: trans-Tasman bubble

Hi neighbours!

After more than a year of closed borders, Australians and New Zealanders will soon be able to jet-hop between countries after the government announced that the trans-Tasman travel bubble will be operational from April 19.

With quarantine-free travel now possible, are you more likely to head across the Tasman or travel domestically?

Fronting Australian media yesterday, Jacinda Ardern not only spoke of the excitement of families being able to be reunited, but also pitched New Zealand tourist activities to Australian viewers.

"If there is a hot spot in one of the states of Australia we may just act in the same way that another state would ... Just prepare that there may be disruptions, but what better place in the world to be stuck. Am I right?," she said.

The trans-Tasman bubble will operate on a three tier basis: Continue, Pause and Suspend. If there are a few cases in Australia linked to the border, quarantine-free travel will continue. Travel may be paused for 72 hours if there are rogue community cases and in the instance of a state or nationwide lockdown, travel will be suspended.

Recently, Labour MP Kiritapu Allan shared her story as she typically carried on working while she awaited news of her tests. Kiri and many other women like her, prioritised her health above work and accessed services early. Though gutted at the results, Kiri is a fighter and is readying for a battle. Recovery is still hopeful. We thank her for advocating for women to be screened regularly and to seek help early when women detect something is out of the ordinary. Look after yourselves whanau. Ngà mihi. From the Well Women & Family Trust – experts in women’s health and specialists in cervical screening’.

He Whakatauki: Me aro koe ki te hā o Hine-ahu-one. Pay heed to the dignity of women. In other words: Pay heed to the Atua (spiritual entity), pay heed to the first creation of tangata (people) and the many learnings that come with it. Pay heed to te whare tangata (house of humanity).
