A Wellington woman stuck in Australia says the uncertainty of the whole situation is taking a toll. Shelley Venning, flew to New South Wales to visit her dying father and was due to return last Wednesday. But travel from the state to New Zealand was suspended a day earlier, meaning she has been stranded in Sydney ever since. Venning, who is a radio host with Mediaworks, told reporter Anan Zaki that she wishes travellers had a bit more notice, but understands the decision.
