After a video meeting between Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday morning, the two leaders say they are committed to introducing a trans-Tasman Covid-19-safe travel zone as soon as it is safe to do so.
Scott Morrison says a trans-Tasman travel zone is still some time away, but he says the country is committed to introducing one.
Speaking at his post-cabinet press conference, Scott Morrison said when Australia is ready to start opening its borders, New Zealand is an obvious place to start.
RNZ political editor Jane Patterson discusses the details with Lisa Owen.
