Aus and NZ are still in futile COVID suppression mode, so they are unlikely to be taking in a million Hongkies any time soon.

I'm sure they'll get around to it though - it will reinflate their property markets which have sagged a bit this year.

Arrivals from overseas face mandatory quarantine, so I don’t see how COVID is an obstacle.

I think the Australian government is worried about further deterioration in the Australia-China relationship. I think they’ll do something if UK/US/Canada/NZ make the first move.
