"Once the majority of the population is vaccinated, it becomes much easier for us to contemplate these openings up." Morrison said Australia was the first country outside of New Zealand, that Australia wished to establish an ATB. "I welcome the fact we will work together to put the infrastructure in place, to put the systems in place, to enable us to open up in a way we have been able to open to New Zealand from Australia - when we're both in a position to do so. There is still some time before we reach that milestone,” Morrison said.
