Australians hopeful of a return to widespread international travel have been dealt a devastating blow just hours after the trans-Tasman bubble was announced.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealed on Tuesday it was unlikely further quarantine-free travel corridors will be established with other countries in the coming months.
Australia had been looking at Singapore, Japan and South Korea as other potential destinations for a travel bubble as the country sought to restart overseas trips.
But Mr Morrison said the government was no longer ready to allow citizens to travel beyond New Zealand and refused to say which countries could be next on the list for holiday-starved Aussies.
