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.

Welcome to Golden Bay: a hidden slice of the tropics in the South Island.
I feel like I could be tucked away in a secluded bay in Fiji. Turquoise waters lap at my feet, and the only footprints on the beach are my own. The sun is trying its best to age me prematurely but, thankfully, I fall asleep under a tree to the hypnotic crash of the waves – one of life s great pleasures. I m glad nobody is around, because I wake up drooling like a labrador. Occasionally, you come across a slice of New Zealand that’s so good you almost don t want to write about it. I said almost because there s no real threat that this place will be overrun with tourists.
