National Leader Judith Collins
Yesterday, the Prime Minister had a chance to do the right thing and announce a date when the trans-Tasman safe travel bubble will be open. She chose not to.
Instead, she announced that she will soon announce an announcement of a date. You just need to wait 15 more days to hear what it will be.
That’s not good enough. And it’s not the kind thing to do to people who have sacrificed so much.
Our tourism sector has been pleading for help for a year now. Kiwis have been separated from their families for far too long and the Government has had months to work out the complexities of a trans-Tasman bubble.
The Prime Minister should treat New Zealanders like adults and give them the certainty of a start date, now.
More than 42,000 people have backed National’s call to open a trans-Tasman safe travel bubble with Australia. You can sign our petition here.
Kiwis are ready, Australia is ready, our local businesses are ready.
Tell the Prime Minister to get on with it by signing and sharing our petition.
