If I'm reading that right, you don't necessarily need a VISA, but you do
need an ETA, which wasn't a thing before.

In any case, thanks for pointing this out. I have had a couple of people
point it out to me already, but I don't know how anyone would know about
this new requirement unless someone heard about it and decided to tell them.

You're right. I read a brief mention of it on the news, and nothing since.
