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...

How about every other country in the world does the same thing and imposes a 2-3 day home quarantine on all Australians forever - and you need to have a home or else you can't visit. Are you happy forever not being allowed to be a 'tourist' in any country?

Covid isn't going anywhere. The danger of a new variant will be here for the foreseeable future. By your logic, we should shut the country down forever. It seems like you're saying the best path is to never open up to tourists, sporting events (i.e. players/athletes coming without quarantine)...

Well is it two days, three days or waiting test results? They're all different. For example, in the UK, we initially had a test-to-release-early scheme which was said to be 5 days, but in actual fact it was more like 7 or 8 days. The reason for this is the day you arrive was "Day 0", which...

100% spot on. Any sort of quarantine will deter pretty much any tourist thinking about Aus.

I hope this so called imminent announcement gives some concrete details and isn't the rubbish we have been fed so far about "borders will open at 80%" which means absolutely nothing. For weeks now we keep hearing "borders will open" which personally drives me mad because this doesn't tell us...

Can you post a link? I'd love to see some of these comments.

I hope this is a permanent change.

If this is true, this would be amazing. Somehow I'm very skeptical.

I don't mind the second policy of finding somewhere to stay if the first policy is a no-go. This way, you can find a hotel you like, at a reasonable price and stay there for 7 days. In any case, it seems like we should forget uncapped home quarantine arrangements in Aus this year. We still...

So after Gladys promises home quarantine once 80% is hit, which is effectively early Nov (and this is assuming 2 weeks after we hit 80%), she walks it back - and we will still have hotel quarantine. I'm not surprised, and as usual, this government's policies will continue to keep tens of...

There could be the issue - I hope not, but it seems very likely now. QF clearly have been talking to the government and are bullish because they seem to know things many other airlines don't. Other airlines haven't effectively cancelled all flights till Q1 next year for no reason. If this is...

Ditto

So are the caps being abolished on the 17th of October or start of November?

So is home quarantine beginning in NSW mid-October? Is that what we are hearing now for sure?

This should give us some insight into what the government is thinking with regards to travel and how serious they are: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/england-players-poised-for-mass-ashes-withdrawals-20210924-p58ue5.html
