My Mum and her partner were planning to head to NZ in April, if they're able to travel within Oz they're going to head to Cairns.

it's pretty much our best case scenario at the moment.

I doubt more supermarket staff will assist much. In NZ we are lucky in that we still run warehouse distribution systems with lots of stock. I'm sure NTA could enlighten us about Aus but in the UK the distribution is pretty much in/sort/out with manufacturers producing to order and in turn getting their raw ingredients the same way. Once the supplies are stripped at the shop the whole system has to catch up somehow.
NTA may know more but speaking to two friends in two major manufacturers down there while demand is eye watering (year long demand in two weeks in some obscure SKUs) but for staple products things are Christmas+, but supply chain is more of a bottle neck than manufacture going forward.
Also the two most relaxed Aussies I’ve talked to abou the situation for what it’s worth.

I'm a few trips down (Bluesfest, Malaysia, NZ) so wouldn't mind a trip up your way, I haven't been up there in about 8 years.

come. bring your friends. stay in a hotel. eat at a restaurant, visit some attractions.
it feels so callous to view this purely through the lens of an economic disaster rather than a health one (no confirmed cases here. yet)

Been thinking the same myself.
At some point the economic pressure that will result from this might prompt a re-think in the response. -

Yeah, I would definitely be all up for all that ... maybe not the hotel, serviced apartment probably. Once this initial scare quietens down and we settle into a new normal will definitely start some planning.

My sister's office in Melbourne just had their first confirmed case, its coming!
Kind of want to get it now so I can be indestructible in a couple weeks.
You want to be ahead of the curve or at the tail. Better chance of having your fair share of medical support

Borders are closing to everyone not a NZ citizen or permanent resident at midnight tonight.
I'm so lucky we decided to get back here yesterday otherwise the kids could literally have never seen their grandmother again - she has months left, and they're not citizens 😨

@chimoaus thanks. We are heading up to to see her after iso is over.
Yeah, plenty of people will be affected by this. I wonder if Scomo and Cindy talked about trans Ta$man exemptions? You'd think they'd discuss it at least right, must have decided it's not enough to have similar policies.
