From: Mx Watson <[FYI request #13183 email]>
Sent: Monday, 29 June 2020 5:47 pm
To: Information [DPMC] <[DPMC request email]>
Subject: Official Information request - Trans-Tasman Bubble Requirements
of Australia, or their States

 

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

 

Our government describes itself as open and transparent, in that vein, I
am requesting more transparency with regards to what requirements we are
looking for in Australian COVID case numbers and the characteristics of
those cases.

 

More specifically, I am asking for clarification on the guidelines given
to Australia which Jacinda Ardern referenced in the 29/06/2020
post-cabinet press conference. The Prime Minister mentioned that there
were two proposals, one state-specific, and one Australian wide. New
Zealanders who have split families, separated loved ones, or even those
with business which spans the Tasman are all interested in the movement
towards feasible open borders, and any timeframe this may occur within.
Being able to openly discuss both the merits of New Zealand's requirements
and Australia's progress towards them will provide more certainty and
reassurance to distressed family members and the New Zealand public.

 

I have also sent this OIA to the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern so there
is no need to extend the timeline should one office be more suited to
respond.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mx Watson
