Note in the article he also says he cannot predict more than 3 months ahead.
So assume if vaccination does make a difference, then we should see some light as developments go on.
If vaccination does not allow borders to reopen, then why get vaccinated?
If they refuse vaccine then they should left with their own risk. We cannot wait anymore to open our borders because of a minority group that hinders us from leaving!
I am concerned that with Northern Beaches outbreak, we are unlikely to go to NZ without quarantine until at least Australia Day, provided the cluster doesn't seed outside Northern Beaches.

If vaccines cannot stop the spread and can only reduce the severity, then I don't see a point of mandating vaccinations prior flights, because the argument of 'stop the spread' simply doesn't exist.
This is an excerpt from Nine News website:

As vaccines are not designed to stop the spread of COVID-19, but just to reduce its severity in humans, that could very possibly mean there is going to be outbreaks in Australia...
Which means if 5 million people are vaccinated and the borders do not open, we should joint together and have a legal action to sue the government and force the international borders to reopen, so that we can go back to where we come from!
That would be too late. By now we have already wasted an entire year's time getting stuck in Australia, I think this government should treat this travel ban extension as the last one and ensure we can have travel bubbles before 17th March, or I would arrange protests on the streets to force the...
It is official, International borders closed until 17th of March.

Well at least they should open to NZ and establish travel bubbles with Singapore etc. I hope this can be addressed at the National Cabinet meeting this Friday.
I hope this is the last extension of the travel ban...
