An Australian tourism group is pushing for trans-Tasman border rules to be loosened to make travel between Australia and New Zealand quicker and easier.
Tourism & Transport Forum Australia says major reform is necessary, and is looking to new technology to achieve it - think digital arrival cards and facial recognition technology.
