Call for refunds for pre-departure testingA New Zealand citizen living in Australia wants the Government to refund families who pay for pre-departure Covid-19 tests but then have their travels disrupted. He said it was unfair that some people have had to get repeated pre-departure tests because of border changes. He said the Government should either allow people to use the free tests available in Australia, or refund the test fees. The additional expenses from staying longer in Australia and cancelled flights could put people under financial strain, he said. He has started a petition asking the government to refund pre-departure tests that had to be voided.
