I'm starting to see 'shaping' discussions around this point. Certainly the questions of how Australia should respond to a less deadly Covid (if vaccinated) are starting to be asked by business leaders and some politicians.

Yes, I do. If they ever want to leave Australia shores they will. People get vaccinated for yellow fever if they want to travel for Africa, they'll certainly get vaccinated for Covid if they want to go to (or come home from) Bali/ Viet Nam/ the USA/ Europe, etc.
