It will be interesting to see the latest BIRE data when it is released , think for month of June 19 as compared to June 20 went from
5 million to 400k. I think August 20 will be much worse , maybe around 200 k of RPT

So lifting about 4% of total load, domestic is effectively closed

To a large degree what is occurring OS just isn't relevant to the decision making here , our guys/gals(State/Territory leaders) are on their own path, genuinely believe they know
more & are the smartest going around. & that you Joe Average citizen is stupid & ignorant - that is why they talk to you with bubsy babytalk

Only states that are open to each other are SA, Qld, NT ; Tas ? - impossible to tell from online information what they are doing

WA closed to everyone & QLD stating they will remain closed to Vic/NSW until 28 days of zero new cases (hasn't been achieved anywhere)

Everywhere (aside from NT , but 14 days quarantine) closed to NSW & Vic , NSW closed to Vic , Vic open to all Aussies (as is NSW , aside from Vic ?)

It's difficult to get your head around how complex it is in Australia atm. What is ACT doing ?

It is looking fairly certain domestic will remain as it is now (effectively closed) over the summer holiday period , likely what the State & Territory leaders
want

Domestic to "maybe" start proper beginning of 2021 , assuming Vic gets Covid under control & no third wave & no significant outbreak elsewhere in Australia & no imported
cases if one of our illustrious State Leaders does a dash for cash by allowing large numbers of OS students back early 2021 & then mucking up hotel quarantine. How could that happen with the team of living legends we have running our states & territories - they are the best of the best

You can throw all the data & expert medical & science opinions to our State & Territory leaders , they won't listen. All just loving the attention & limelight right now
running their own little fiefdoms

Great if people are organising petitions, I just think it you got all the medicos/scientists who aren't on the Govt payroll these characters will just raise
both middle fingers , give you an arrogant put down & then ignore you

The only concern of the Vict Govt is re-election, the fact that many people have passed as a direct result of how they handled many aspects
of Covid is of absolutely no consideration. It is firstly about your own personal political survival and then party re-election & hopefully a greater majority, the number of bodies in the ground - that doesn't come into it

Not good numbers domestic at 4% ,international (meaning QF/VA/JQ) at 0% , 7.5 months in
