A common border

I’m a fan of there being a common border with Australia, so one can travel between the two countries as if it was a domestic flight. It is great, in Europe, being able to cross country borders with no passport checks etc.

Ironically I’m just old enough to remember being able to travel to Australia without a passport – the requirement to have one only came about in the early 80s I think.

Anyway good t0 see Rudd and Key wanting to make a decision this year on a common border – rather than wait until 2015.
