On the quiet it seems to have been extended to both Melbourne and Sydney. But fares into those two cities, from NZ at least, are a little prohibitive until later in May.

What a difference a day makes.

One day bad, next day good; let's stop at good.

There still is hope. Although Rhode Island is trying again to tax the unvaxxed double. Probably thinking all the vaxxed will soon die, then the unvaxxed can pay the difference...

Are your underlying laws gone, or is it just a suspended implementation?

No luck, of course, for those like me who didn't manage to get citizenship in time after having paid tens or hundreds of thousands in taxes to the regime and now being trapped outside the country. Of course, the situation is the same for foreign nationals of the US. This is part of the devious plan to restrict movement. The private companies will relax controls on citizens for some time, while the government controls on foreign nationals will remain in place. If the government controls are in place, the private controls don't need to be there. In this way, everyone who isn't vaccinated is confined to movement inside their own country, or to those few countries that don't care (e.g. Mexico).

This is the same as people in the US cheering over the removal of mask mandates on domestic airlines. Sure, it's great, but I'm not cheering for this. Too little, too late.

That is great news but I’m always wary of the ratchet effect where they put on the pressure, then back off, then push harder next time….
