I would far rather spend $1000 for a fortnight visiting Christmas Island than a "cash-neutral" experience of being shipped to some internal NZ asylum :)

The only part of CI they likely will get to see is the roadside between the airport and the detention centre. Probably not "holiday snaps" or Instagram potential I would think.
 
DFAT has just now upgraded travel advice to Australians for the whole of mainland China to level 4, which is “do not travel”.

Smartraveler still has "reconsider need to travel" and "do not travel for Hubei". Can someone share the source for the above?

Even if someone actually wants to go in the next couple of weeks, what would be the practical mode of transport, given that airlines are now cancelling flights?

Edit: Not to mention getting back
 
And now they’ve closed the Australian border to non citizens arriving from China. Just announced.

@Cruiser Elite will have to at a minimum to have an AU passport in order to return to AU and will then have to stay home for at least 2 weeks on return provided restrictions don't get tightened, and you don't get sick and you don't have someone living at home with a predisposition and may have to quarantine family members as well - no work, no school.

Is it worth it?

Might have to dust off that private jet to China, then could chill out afterwards on The Island.

CE is not absent - CE will await to make a decision Feb 15 - flts and hotels confirmed and our Chinese partners are totally aware of the situation.

SARS? Been there done that - CV? Who knows - time will tell - decision may be out of my hands - time will tell - you can move a mountain in 14 days

I was just thinking that, although I think that it also refers to just doing a slow trip to anywhere/somewhere. But, yes, China in CE’s case. 😉

Edit: Actually, the Banana Boat may be an even better solution

There are clearly 8 AFFers braver than me who still would go to China...I guess they have never seen a young fit healthy person clinging to life on an ECMO machine. Anyway I guess everyone makes their own decisions....
 
I had started a post early on that it was really a rhetorical question because events would control the outcome
It's arguably desirable to go to China , become infected and recover in au.. BEFORE the excreta hits the revolving object at home….
Down the track , au medical support may be thin on the ground as we lack the kind of nation building muscle demonstrated in the Wuhan hospital building exercise
