Just like that. Would YOU book a holiday overseas knowing that at then drop of a hat it could go red. And people need to book months in advance to work around work holiday schedules. And to secure flights and hotels. I imagine that we are going to have to use a similar system if not formally then behind the scenes. Thailand also forces anyone arriving into 14 day quarantine.
I hope it all works out but it isn’t going to be easy when the enemy is completely out of your control.
None of that will happen, it's all political drum beating, Darwin isn't even capable of being a hub. i see the UK summer season didn't go all that well, probably for all the reasons you mention.
