NSW Premier @Dom_Perrottet says returning Australians will need to show Vax proof and a neg PCR.
"Sydney, NSW is open for business, we want people back, we are leading the nation out of this pandemic and hotel quarantine is a thing of the past."

I spent this whole week writing a 1500 word explainer about all the things we didn't know about how home quarantine would work.

If you watch nothing else today about Australia's COVID lockdown, watch this.
Despite Murdoch's relentless attacks, QLD lifts the lid on Morrison's bungled vaccine rollout & national quarantine crisis. Why has Murdoch deliberately understated these crises?

Premier Palaszczuk reveals National Cabinet never approved AstraZeneca for under-40s. Neither did the independent experts panel, ATAGI. Nor did Australian doctors, the Australian Medical Association.
Why is Morrison pushing young people to take AstraZeneca? QLD Health Minister says they have 8 DAYS of Pfizer left & have been denied requests for more. Murdoch is wrong to blame state govts for slow rollout. The truth is there's a Pfizer shortage.

Federal court hearing on the legality of the India travel ban kicking off now, before Thawley J. If you’re interested you can watch for yourself here: secure.quickchannel.com/qc/create/main…
The plaintiff is Gary Newman - a 73 y.o. man who has been in Bangalore India since March 2020. He is in a vulnerable category and wants to return to Australia as soon as possible in the circumstances, but says he has been unable to do so.
Today the court will hear arguments about whether a fundamental common law right allowing citizens to enter Australia, or other factors, mean that the travel ban could not be made under the Biosecurity Act.

2.Provide monthly updates informing the Australian public of the number & type of departures & arrivals across Australian International borders. - These reports shall include at minimum:

Well, it’s Christmas day 2020 and I am writing to you from the USA to express my disgust at how you have all treated my family and the other 39000+ Australians stranded overseas and to firmly request that immediate action is taken to repatriate them.
This action must be up to the task of bringing every Australian home within 30 days, without exception. It is unacceptable that Australians stuck overseas, some for over 10 months, are being abandoned to the predatory tactics of the few airlines still flying into Australia.
There are 30,000 Australians who wanted to make it home (10,000 in India alone) by the end of the year but are effectively locked out by Govt caps and bans...and how many more families who are separated this Christmas by the ban on leaving the country?

#strandedAussies
Does the PM not realise that many of those people having the Christmas he gloats Australians won't have to have are also Australian?
God forbid if they get seriously ill from Covid and have been trying to get home for some time...

Also add, this doesn't account for those with valid visas to enter Australia (or did have) but have been barred from entering and reuniting with their loved ones.
