Subject: Official Information request - Trans-Tasman Bubble Requirements of Australia, or their States

Kia ora Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern,

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 Office of Prime Minister and Cabinet so there is no need to extend the timeline should one office be more suited to respond.

Kind regards,

Mx Watson
