...and so the see-saw of "people want the borders closed" and "people want the borders opened" continues (noting that the sponsor of this "open up" poll was the Airports Association - they would say that wouldn't they - maybe they surveyed people from AFF
).
The politicians just need to show some leadership here and lay out a plan that everyone can see, hear and understand for how the borders can be re-opened - because open borders is the only setting that makes sense in the mid-long terms. The problem at the moment is the refusal of the government(s) to set targets and trigger levels for people/businesses to aim at.
And I am getting really really sick of the media portraying that the only reasons for going overseas are holidays or business. With 30% of Australians born overseas, and a large number of expats, there are literally millions of families here who are looking for a family reunion. Tell us what we have to do to get a family reunion going, and watch us all comply.
