Trade Minister Damien O’Connor’s diplomatic flub has been criticised as “dumb diplomacy” that plays into China’s desire to weaken alliances between New Zealand’s allies.

O’Connor on Tuesday sparked trans-Tasman tensions after saying Australia "should follow us and show respect" to China in a broadcast interview, weighing into a worsening rift between the two countries.

China is heaping praise on New Zealand as "an example for Australia in how to deal" with foreign affairs after Trade Minister Damien O'Connor suggested our trans-Tasman neighbour practice "more diplomacy" with China.

O'Connor's remarks have riled some Australian politicians, such as Liberal MP Dave Sharma, who told The Sydney Morning Herald: "I don't see this advice from New Zealand as particularly insightful or helpful."

Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi is warning tour and event organisers to sort their border requirements before trying to enter New Zealand after a cruise ship failed to secure visas for all its crew.

Officials have been communicating with operators of Le Lapérouse, a 264 passenger luxury French cruise ship currently less than 300 miles away from Auckland after it sailed from Singapore. The ship is now being held at sea pending further decision.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is not ruling out more cases of COVID-19 in the community until all test results of the Pullman Hotel guests are returned, and she's demanded an explanation for the delay from the Ministry of Health. 

The Pullman Hotel is the latest COVID-19 petri dish. It's getting no new arrivals since the Northland woman, a man and his son tested positive after their stay, and it'll be deep cleaned.
