Because it is costing the economy billions of dollars a year and the Liberal party are supposed to be the good economic managers.

It has been estimated that the closed international border is costing the country 8 billion dollars a month! It is not just international airlines suffering, one of the biggest industries in Australia by value is education. NSW will lose $14 billion a year by missing out on international students.

While lives are at risk, by all means keep the borders shut, but once vaccines take away that risk then there is no excuse for destroying the economy and people’s livelihoods.
