Poll: Do you think the two-way Trans-Tasman bubble should be opened up now?
The Government has announced its first major border exemption- 2000 horticultural workers can arrive in the new year.
The 2000 horticultural workers from the Pacific will be allowed to enter New Zealand in 2021 under strict conditions, in the first significant opening of the border to foreign workers since the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
Meanwhile, the one-way Trans-Tasman bubble started in October, permitting travellers from New Zealand to arrive in NSW and the Northern Territory without then having to go into managed isolation.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
