A TRANS-TASMAN travel bubble between New Zealand and Australia is expected to be open in the first quarter of 2021 - but 50,000 Gold Coast Kiwis and reliant tourism operators are pleading for it to be sooner.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday that it was her government's intention to name a date for reopening in the New Year. The opening itself could be as late as March 21.
A quarantine-free bubble would be conditional on coronavirus case levels staying low and pending approval by the federal government.
