Travel bubbles with neighbouring countries would be useless and dangerous without mass vaccinations in Australia, an aviation expert says.
Key points:
Among the first bubbles expected to open would be New Zealand and Papua New Guinea
But one hidden danger could be indirect travellers taking advantage of the bubbles
The idea of a travel bubble, where people could move freely between countries, has been talked about since the start of the pandemic but is yet to become a reality for Australia.
