It looks like Aussies will be stuck in the country for the rest of winter, with the Trans-Tasman travel bubble being suspended for the next eight weeks by the NZ Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.
Ardern said the delta variant has run rampant in Australia, and had “materially changed the risk profile” of the bubble in place.

The benchmark index was up 0.63% for the week, after plunging for two days earlier this week.
