Peter Carter: Carter Capner Law Director issues warning to Australians hoping to book a trip to New Zealand - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

New Zealand's latest campaign to draw in more tourists from Australia has been met with mixed responses. 

One leading Australian travel compensation lawyer has warned prospective Aussie travellers to 'go at your own risk'.

Peter Capner, Director of Carter Capner Law, says travellers to New Zealand cannot access compensation for injury or death due to the fault of someone else.

"Speaking on behalf of all Australians, if they're maimed in New Zealand or orphaned and their breadwinner parent dies, they can't get anything to replace the income that is lost because of that tragedy."
