I thought the deal was Victoria agreed to take Tasmania's repatriation flight.
I’m not sure if it was for ‘repatriation’ flights ( plural) (that is, especially arranged to bring Aussies home) or some extra-scheduled international flights, but whatever number of pax Tasmania agreed at National Cabinet to accept into HQ ( I think about 1300 ... the number is up thread somewhere), Victoria agreed to take, with Tasmania accepting more than that number of fruit pickers destined for Victoria. Each state would pay appropriately for the accommodation the other was providing.
No reason for the fruit pickers not to come, so that’s being done and whenever Victoria accepts international returnees into HQ again, I guess Tasmania’s share will be counted amongst them. Probably more than fewer so counted, as Tasmania makes payment for then
