A few of us have alluded to big events going to NSW if border restrictions in VIC don't ease soon - and I saw this - I wonder if this had some effect on the quicker than expected border change for VIC...

The news about VIC is AAMMMAAZZZINNGG. I still can't believe it!

I think Cathay Pacific are putting on more capacity to London.

It is awesome that has happened - NSW has done the right thing by inadvertently applying this pressure. Someone in Australia had to wake up and do the right thing.

I'd say this makes a lot of sense. I just want to add - how long do you think it'll be before VIC ditches quarantine altogether as Sydney has? If VIC continues to insist on a much more conservative approach compared to Sydney, they will quickly face losing the Aus Open, the F1, tourist dollars...

As a Melbournian I agree with this. I hope Melbourne follows suit, and I actually think they will. WA and QLD however, probably off the cards till 2023 lol.

This is truly amazing news that I would have never expected! So so good!

I think the chance of international travel by Nov 1 has as much chance as pigs flying. In fact after seeing the document yesterday showing that there will still be hotel quarantine from "red countries", it has made me completely lose hope of coming back to Oz in the next 6 months. That list of...

It's actually fairly easy to understand why they haven't opened up - because they still don't know a single thing. The dates of 1st Nov and sometime in Nov have been floated sure, but what details do we know about how this works? And is November actually going to happen? These airlines have...

So basically, what we know is, well, nothing?

Hi Telemachus, I'm in a similar situation with trying to book several UK-Aus flights (SYD/MEL) next year beginning Feb/March 2022. I don't know what the prices are as I haven't checked, but traditionally I have found really good prices to Aus from Italy (FCO/MXP) and ARN/CPH - have you tried...

I got excited when I saw the news that the borders would open up Nov 1. Then as you delve deeper into it - Scomo is saying that they "could". Literally three weeks away and we still have no details on anything. When are we actually going to get details on how this works? How do the home...

Mental health has been completely ignored by "health officials" too. In fact, some of these health officials have ignored everything apart from COVID-19. It's almost as if we have no other medical issues whatsoever.

10 to 1 odds we will get further details. I don't think there is a chance.

Personally I think it is pathetic that the government continues to say travel will be possible from next month with absolutely no detail. We have been told there will be home quarantine if the quarantine trials in SA and NSW (which has only just begun) are successful, but literally nothing...

Yeh I agree with the above comments. Many of us either don't have a place at all, or can stay with family - what do we do? Because that needs to be set out clearly. I'd be ok with Airbnb or hotel as long as its one of your choice - if I have to stay at a hotel, I may as well earn points and...

For me VIC is the key as that's where I'll be based if I can come. If they do want to do test twice to release - would they be allowed to if the Federal government mandates 7 days at home as a minimum?

Has there been any detail yet on what you do if you are an Australian residing overseas regarding home q in Aus? I can quarantine at my family's house, but do they all have to quarantine? Or are we allowed to use a hotel/airbnb (one of our choosing)? It would be nice to know these details soon.

But you have made it clear you don't care if our tourism industry gets killed off?

LOL - are you sitting there making this stuff up just to troll people here? "When people start flying around in large numbers again and variants mix"? I think it's clear that your views are literally made up as you go and non-sense, you clearly don't care about the tourism industry and the...
