I guess depends on what floor you are at!!Use cherry picker to go in via the balcony. Is that direct or indirect?
To get back on track. Any guesses on when Victoria will reclassify Greater Sydney again? Anyone?

NSW won’t block you. You can certainly visit Regional NSW. On return you would have to get tested after you arrive back in Victoria and isolate until your result. I myself travelled to Melbourne from an orange NSW zone earlier this year.So with most of Regional NSW downgraded to an orange zone, does that mean I could go there from Metropolitan Melbourne and return, or is outbound blocked now (I would think NSW would be more likely to block us based on the case numbers now)? Of course this is once the current 15km limit from home is lifted in another month or so. Can't go anywhere just yet.
Once they have reclassified Metro Melbourne as extreme risk? /sI guess depends on what floor you are at!!

Surprised Canberra Airport group aren’t having a go at him by now.
There’ll be a lot of people with essential work in Batemans Bay soon.
Another charming story:
When Karrina Kemp shared her story about being stranded outside Queensland, she had already spent three weeks in a tent in northern NSW with her three children – and there was no end in sight. Ms Kemp is now set to go home on Sunday and she and her children have spent the week in far greater comfort, thanks to the kindness of Herald readers and a grant from the NSW government.

Even then, Dan‘s roadmap was pretty underwhelming. You couldn’t imagine any radical shift while case numbers are rising but presuming they soon hit the tipping point of total jabbed v new cases, he might recalibrate?Cant see it happening before Vic hits 80% which will be after NSW does.

Maybe when we hit 80% for 16+ or possibly even 80% for 12+ (the next stage on the VIC roadmap after 80% for 16+).Any intel on when VIC will open up to NSW?
Will it be 70% double vaccinated or 80% or some other arbitrary date like Melbourne Cup day?
Cute that he will consider case numbers when VIC is running 4x the numbers in NSW.Maybe when we hit 80% for 16+ or possibly even 80% for 12+ (the next stage on the VIC roadmap after 80% for 16+).
80% for 16+ is likely to be just after Cup Day unless they can really ramp up he 2nd doses of Pfizer bringing lots forward to 3 weeks after the first.
Though if VIC reaches 90% first dose for 16+ in a few weeks or so he could even want to wait for 90% for 16+ in VIC or a certain threshold of 7 day average case numbers in NSW.
If NSW case numbers are huge I think he’s likely to be cautious. The Premier can’t afford another city wide lockdown soon after coming out of the current one.
However if NSW cases are under 500 a day when VIC reaches 80% he may be more likely to open things up at the 80% mark.
The VIC Premier has said in the past that they will take both vaccination rates and case numbers into account when deciding what to do.

I’d love for the border between us to open up ASAP. I think it would kick along the other states to get vaxxed if we can show that it can be done in a safe way.
Would also allow more traffic on the MEL/SYD route.

That’s fine… we’re going overseas!!!It’s one thing to allow Victorians to move more freely within the state. It’s another to allow people to freely come from other places interstate and overseas with high case numbers. We may not agree with this viewpoint, but it’s a big shift to go from closer to COVID-zero to let it rip and that shift will take time.
I expect the Premier will be much more likely to go slow on interstate travel and international travel than other aspects of reopening.
I'm surprised that neither side of the border has imposed a restriction re vaccination requirements for the locals to cross.Any intel on when VIC will open up to NSW?
I don’t disagree with this logic, but MEL shouldn’t be the most locked down city in the world and yet it is. Expecting our politicians to make rational decisions seems to be expecting a lot.NSW on track to be at 90% double vaxed 16+ on 29th Oct which is before Melbourne Cup day, so allowing us in will have more to do with what is happening locally rather than in NSW.
Cant really worry about NSW bringing Covid in when its already circulating more widely in Victoria, a smaller population yet a higher daily case record despite much lower rates of testing.
Isn't it really a matter of when they make NSW all an orange zone? Then you have to get a test on arrival and isolate until negative. At the moment Greater Sydney and a mix of regional zones are red, so 14 days quarantine. But is that for NSW visitors, or only open to returning Vic residents at the moment?I don’t disagree with this logic, but MEL shouldn’t be the most locked down city in the world and yet it is. Expecting our politicians to make rational decisions seems to be expecting a lot.
If VIC does open up at 80% VIC vaccination to NSW travellers I expect both full vaccination and some form of COVID testing would be required at least initially. Whether that would be PCR or Rapid Test I don’t know.
