Let's draw up the drawbridge and dig a deeper moat around Fortress Australia. Let's rival the most isolated state in the world, Kim Jong Un's 'Democratic Republic'. While we are at it let's have snap lockdowns for random number of days that achieve nothing but destroy small business, tourism and hospitality.
Their Hotel Quarantine plan has failed. Their mixed messaging is a disaster. "Get the vax so we can open up, BUT, if you're vaccinated you can still get the 'Rona, and by the way if you're vaxxed we will give NO concessions".
Meanwhile Ol' Blighty is getting on with the vax and publicly saying "we will have to live with it". As is good old Biden.
The big question is will the very few airlines flying here with 40 pax on 300 seaters simply withdraw or suffer the further losses of putting 15 people in an A350 or B787?
Drawbridge wont be needed as those 'stuck' overseas are realising that they're going to be in the better place as other countries are moving forward. Whilst we have our circus.
