NZ-Australia prime ministers meeting to take place ‘relatively soon’: Jacinda Ardern 06/04/2021|4min
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has confirmed a formal meeting with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison will be “relatively soon” as the trans-Tasman bubble will reopen later in April.
Prime Minister Ardern announced on Tuesday New Zealand will reopen the trans-Tasman travel bubble from 11:59pm on Sunday April 18.
She said due to the inability to host a face-to-face meeting with her Australian counterpart, the prime ministers had been “delaying the leader-level dialogue” which usually takes place at the beginning of the year.
Ms Ardern said she spoke to Prime Minister Morrison last night to advise him her Cabinet would be discussing the travel bubble today.

“I think Australia could lead the charge to call Beijing’s bluff by bringing the issue before the United Nations,” Joseph Siracusa, adjunct professor of the political history of international diplomacy at Curtin University, says.
“This could be done early in a conflict, or on the cusp of a conflict, or it can be done tomorrow,” he told The Epoch Times.
