Thanks for the kind words @Telemachus, even my family doesn't think I'm logical at times. I want to add to this that the trial in Sydney is scheduled to finish a couple of weeks after the 80% is hit - which to me shows that 80% is likely not going to be the trigger, and they'll say they are...

Expansion of the trial? Expand to what? The trial is scheduled to finish WELL after 80% is hit.

Well it is crystal clear and it has been published that AT 80%, travel would be allowed and home quarantine would be occurring, which means certainty should come at least a few weeks before that (at some point near 60 - 70%). If we are at 80% and we still don't know exactly what the procedure...

So now VIC is saying that once 80% of all over 12's are jabbed (not over 16s as they agreed initially), they'll possibly allow international borders open with revised quarantine arrangements. Seeing as they expect this to occur in 2 months - is there any idea at all what these arrangements are...

I see no reason why this doesn't begin in Jan or Feb 2022. If NSW hits 80% in late October - they can begin taking in overseas arrivals in home quarantine from November and that gives them two months to assess how many fully jabbed arrivals test positive - but if you hit 80 or 85% fully jabbed -...

What are the numbers? And is this for domestic travel or intl travel?

I've been as critical of the government as anyone here, and I'm still angry and pretty bitter that as of now I can't come home, however, 7 days of quarantine at home is something I'm more than happy to do if I can see my family. I would make it a 2-3 week holiday and possibly have to do a week...

I was referring to Aussies living overseas. Even though the majority of the population living in Australia thinks of us as parasites, we would like to be able to spend Xmas/New Years with family and friends in Australia - however, if we need to isolate - home or hotel, this may be impossible for...

I think its extremely problematic that 3 months out we don't know a single thing about how this may work - because airlines and airports need to prepare. I hope you're right about quarantine, but it is almost impossible for anyone to believe there won't be long and strict home quarantine...

So from what I'm seeing and again making an assumption - if things open up in December, it seems like it's likely on Aussies can quarantine at home - is this what others are assuming? The second, most important question - are Aussies going to be treated the same if they arrive on a M/E airline...

For all of 2022? Not 2021? Is there are a source for this information? If true, I don't blame these airlines one bit. It's totally justified because things are just getting ridiculous now.

you're not alone

True - although between now and December, I somehow thing the travel traffic lights in the UK will be dismantled - I hope so anyway.

You are correct, however, Australia is green (I think) at the moment. So therefore, it actually doesn't matter if you are vaccinated or not. For Amber countries, that is where vaccination status becomes an issue. If you are coming from an amber country, you will only be treated as "fully...

McGowan appears to not be a nice person with this and the fact that he's taking a swipe at stranded Aussies is indicative. WA is lucky because the rest of the world is moving and the mining industries are booming. Wait till the world hardly used iron ore and coal in a decade or so and let's see...

Completely agree - beyond ridiculous rhetoric from the let's keep Aus locked forever crowd.

So you just want to keep the country locked up forever? I guess within Australia you're not in the minority

It's really REALLY SIMPLE. Once every single eligible person has had an opportunity to get both jabs, you allow completely free movement in and out of the country for the fully jabbed only (apart from a handful of dangerous places). It really is as simple as that. Newsflash - it's never going...

Spot on. Once your population has all had a chance to get jabbed, why should there be any restrictions at all on vaccinated travellers? It makes no sense unless you still want Covid-0. Singapore hasn't done anything here that is even remotely showing they are planning to "live with the virus"...

I disagree. This is definitely not how travel for the vaccinated should look like. This process is so difficult and arduous: Four PCR tests in 2 weeks (at 150 each) Only allowed onto one flight operated by one of two airlines You have to apply to fly well in advance and get approval Singapore...
