Australian prime minister Scott Morrison has called on New Zealand to open up to Australians in the same way the nation has for Kiwis, as he reinstated the one-way travel bubble.
Currently, New Zealanders are able to enter Australia without needing to do any time in hotel quarantine, but the same cannot be said for Aussies looking to travel over the ditch.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the PM said the decision had always been down to Wellington, insisting he was "happy" for New Zealand to open its borders whenever it saw fit.
"If the New Zealand government doesn't wish Australians to visit New Zealand and spend money in Queenstown or Wellington or other parts of the country, that's a matter for them," he told reporters on Wednesday.
"But if Australians can't go to Queenstown, I'm hoping they'll go to Cairns."
