Epidemiologist: New Zealand will find its feet in Australia travel agreement

New Zealand's still getting comfortable with the chaotic dance being played with Australian states over Covid-19.

New South Wales' state premier says our Government's decision to pause the trans-Tasman bubble until midnight Saturday was an over-reaction.

Melbourne epidemiologist Tony Blakely told Heather du Plessis-Allan no state knows what the best response is, but New Zealand's is the most extreme.
