More than a dozen passengers originally from New Zealand have been detained after arriving in Melbourne, Australian media reports.
The 14 passengers had arrived in Sydney under the new trans-Tasman bubble arrangements, which mean they didn't have to undergo a 14-day quarantine.
However, they then managed to board a connecting flight to Melbourne, which isn't accepting international arrivals, ABC News reports.
New South Wales and Northern Territory are now open thanks to the new “safe travel zone”.
Today was the first day New Zealanders were able to travel to Australia under the new bubble arrangements.
