If they don't have the capacity, systems or processes, then why don't they copy those from NSW, which has the gold standard? Couldn't they ask help from ADF or Federal counterparts for additional support? If they don't have confidence, then does that mean those states are just 'inferior' and as...

The thing is that as our politicians are playing chickens, it brings a lot of uncertainty to families and businesses who needs to run on a contingency plan and as a result our economy suffers. I think our state politicians seriously need to learn how to live COVID safe and able to manage any...

A lot of families are being separated and scattered by borders just because of these arbitrary decisions made from politicians, especially state politicians who only focus to keep their own jobs and does nothing to give hope and actually solve the problem. Should we open our borders to NZ...

Why wait until vaccine? Even a vaccine is available I gravely fear that those politicians will move the goal post and say we need to have vast majority vaccinated. Seriously, I think we should wait no more. We need to live with COVID and bring our life back to as normal as possible. This virus...

Then slam shut your WA borders then. I would rather to see WA borders shut than Australians not able to travel to NZ, Singapore and Hong Kong, those countries with very low Coronavirus transmission, so that we can reunite our families. Moreover I wonder why Australian government has been so...

I wondering as SA is recording some COVID-19 minor outbreaks, whether it has set back the discussion of a travel bubble between Australia and NZ? We are due to have honeymoon around Christmas and we are longing for the launch of travel bubble that we can take a break from Australia. Moreover...

Good news for Hong Kongers, as from 22/11, as long as you get travel exemption from Home Affairs, you can first apply for ATP to enter Singapore, stay for 14 days, and them use Air Travel Bubble to go to Hong Kong and avoid quarantine at both locations! It only works one way, hopefully when...

Australia is on track for the 4th day without local transmission. I hope by the end of the month we can keep on track so that NZ can open borders to Australia by Christmas. I predict by early December there will be no more domestic borders and NZ will open. This could quickly followed by...

Perhaps Jetstar may take on this route instead with their B787-8 if we can strike a travel bubble deal with Taiwan?

Well, let's see. At least I don't see vaccination is a requirement under travel bubbles. I am not anti-vaxer, but I am anti-injection, I think we should have vaccines that is administrated through oral or nasal instead. And by mid-next year we might have 2nd generation of vaccines that can only...

Very possibly, or better in 2 national cabinet's time if Australia can keep our cases down. I would hope we might see SYD-HKG can commence without quarantine before Lunar New Year, which may provide a pathway for Chinese students to come back to Australia to rescue the University sector...

That is because we don't have the technology to produce such vaccines by CSL, and according to Karen Andrews, we need 9 - 12 months to enable production for such vaccines here. Yet I wonder why NZ was able to secure Pfizer vaccine whilst Australia cannot...

I am not expecting to travel to high risk areas such as Europe in 2021, but only low risk areas such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan. Therefore I am hoping I can travel with testing, not vaccination. I am not against vaccination, yet I am against injection, especially I don't want to go through...

Not anymore. Pfizer, Moderna and Oxford vaccine are reportedly to commence vaccination before Christmas, as news leaked from the UK and US media. I think they should be relatively confidents that they works so that they will expect such vaccination programs will be in place. Note the Oxford...

It could be a pretty decisive week for NSW as Qld and Tas are announcing whether they will reopen the borders with NSW from November. I really hope they do so on time as the tourism sector is definitely dying if there're no New South Walsh come into Queensland for holiday!

Yet if State Governments can make a deal like this with a foreign government, then do we really need a Federal Government and various departments to support the national movement then?

So that means we might be able to travel further abroad for Easter 2021 then, aren't we? Assuming those who wish to be vaccinated will be vaccinated by then?

I wonder how come a State Premier would have the power to demand reciprocal benefit from quarantine exemption with another country, i.e. NZ? Perhaps SA Premier should liaise with Scomo which he will discuss with Adern on the same level about such arrangements?

I think Australia cannot be cut off from the rest of the world for too long, at the end we rely on tourists and international students for a full recovery of the economy, and it appears that Scomo wants to open it as soon as possible so that the Liberals can replicate the success Labor did...

Perhaps you should avoid lockdown by imposing a self 14 day Quarantine in Howard Springs and come back to Australia. The UK is quite dangerous at this time, take care and leave if you can.
