The much-anticipated transtasman travel bubble between New Zealand and Australia finally has a start date: April 19 - and the announcement has made a splash globally.
Quarantine-free travel between New Zealand and Australia can begin in less than two weeks, at 11.59pm on April 19.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins this afternoon confirmed that all the conditions for the bubble have been met. The director general of health considers the risk of transmission of Covid-19 from Australia to New Zealand is low and that quarantine free travel is safe to commence, Ardern said.

Dunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins has refused to be drawn on a challenge to his earlier claim that the Southern District Health Board (SDHB) advised the city council not to go public when lead contamination was found in Waikouaiti-Karitane water.
After the no-drink notice was issued, Hawkins told Checkpoint council staff did not advise the public of the elevated lead level back in August, following advice from Public Health South.
However, RNZ reported yesterday that SDHB medical officer of health Dr Susan Jack said that was not the case.
