I just watched that announcement, so happy for NSW, crying here in QLD

Only if the opinion polls are favourable.

Massively good news. Even if the other states are intransigent, I can hang out in syndey until I get let back in to Vic.

They will likely allow international students, skilled migrants etc at least to start with.

Going to be a flood of seats into Australia (at least Sydney) very soon.

Also, there's going to be flight cuts to every other state that doesn't follow suit.

Dom:

I think people in New South Wales will be flying to Bali before Broome. I want open to New South Wales the world. We need to rejoin the world. We can’t live here in a hermit kingdom. We’ve got to open up, and this decision today is a big one, but it is the right want to get New South Wales connected globally.

So the reason was the home quarantine trial proved it required too many resources to police and wasn’t worth it due to the high vaccination rate.

Well there ya go... quarantine-free international travel for those who are in NSW it looks like. Fully vaxxed and testing negative on arrival would do it.

I would say the vintage Dom Perignon has been cracked in the Sydney Airport corporate boardroom.

And Queensland's tourism industry must be livid. Going to miss out on all the tourists, both domestic & international.

Awesome news, interesting though that Sydneysiders can only travel to regions on 1 Nov (should have been 18th Oct), which is same day international opens.

I can read this two ways

One reading is that Perottet is doing this and giving the Federal a fait acompli .

The other reading this Perottet is saying "'eff you and your dithering'", get out of the way you can deal with the consequences, we're sick of waiting.

Fiji doing multinight packages for $1099 at the Sofitel starting 1 December...

Probably cheaper then the GC anyway.

 

[Must...Fly!]

Come on Victoria. Follow suit!!!

Eyeing off MEL-xSIN-IST maybe early next year

 

[dajop]

Hopefully Victoria will follow suit once they hit 80% double vaxxed. When you’re getting 2000 cases a day, it just doesn’t seem proportionate to lock people up from overseas especially if vaccinated and testing negative before departure and again on arrival.
