So closing off the borders cost $3bn across Australia from lost tourism over Christmas. How much does that equate per case?
Another question for the border extremists wanting to banish people to Christmas Island... a big proportion of the western world is vaccinated with the Pfizer, Moderna or AZ vaccine (I mention these by name as I see Australian politicians are citing supposed “problems” with AZ). All vulnerable people are vaccinated. In six months a big proportion of Australia has “herd immunity”. There are however background transmissions without hospitalisation.
What is the danger to the Australian public? Or is this 1 case and you’re out policy going to continue forever and ever?
