1. How did they manage to board the flight(s) to Melbourne without being stopped?

2. Do they need a crash course in what we called 'comprehension' in primary school? i.e. reading, listening and understanding. :))

Now I see on the TV news that the enterprising travellers have gone to every state, despite only three being open as direct destinations. Is this shambles a state or a federal responsibility? Fortunately the risk of taking the virus to Oz is negligible.

KIWI'S allowed to travel to Victoria,advice from the Vic. goverment said they could travel to Victoria if they had come from an area that was covid free.As NZ was Covid free they are not breaking any government rulings Victorians did not read their own laws pertaining to interstate travel.

This might draw a few comments?
Looking for 'a bite' John?

ANZACs have a special relationship and making 'comments' is part of it.

" ANZACs have a special relationship and making 'comments' is part of it."

Perhaps ANZAC had far more meaning to the populations of Australia and New Zealand forty of fifty years ago, many of the new citizens in both countries have no idea of the meaning of ANZAC.
