**National Party**  
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.](https://www.national.org.nz/open-the-trans-tasman-bubble-now?e=96faa3b0983e4aa00625b4fed9d85727&utm%5Fsource=nationalparty&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=trans%5Ftasman%5Fsafe%5Ftr&n=1)**
