Like many immigrants with limited English, living in the soulless vast suburban shark hole of greater Western Sydney, Royz will be pinning now and again for his homeland and a sense of community belonging. It's good for anyone's mental health to belong to a community - even an online one.

But Royz come up with some new material. The whole Jinx angle is now very dull and boring.

Meanwhile some good news travel wise.

But sadly does seem little urgency from the NZ Govt, to make the Trans Tasman border a 2 way travel bubble. Would be interested to know what Aus Govt is doing differently, to assuage themselves that they are safe from any Kiwis (or transiting passengers entering on flights from NZ) bringing in Covid.

Couldn't you have Australian incoming flights coming from one just destination, eg Sydney - with a group of NZ immigration officials based at that airport. Aussies booking flights from Sydney looking have a NZ holiday, when booking the flight have to fill in an Immigration form declaring they have not been out of Australia in the preceding 2 weeks, and NZ immigration officials then go through their passports checking that is correct, ie no evidence of other country's entry/exit stamps. We live in a digital age. Travel information is being easily captured. You think there would be a way, if there was a strong motivation to make it happen. Again obviously the Aussies have found an avenue that works for them.
