Anyway, it’s all irrelevant. Watch NSW get on with it and travel all over the world whilst the rest of the country continues to lockdown every time they have a covid case in the community.
Do half the people even care though? The people wanting to go overseas to see family etc are the 1%.
I think you will find the majority of the community outside of Sydney would be happy to spend 2022 with Domestic borders open, minus NSW.
1 in 2 Kiwi’s are nervous about reopening, and would prefer to stay in its isolated form for the foreseeable future.
The people will stick by the premiers for the first half of next year as the world let’s it rip. If they keep NSW shut off then it’s shut off. Most will take the same approach. Will be a nightmare for Morrison as he heads to the Polls. Who does he back? He needs the seats down south and out west to survive. I don’t forecast much changing here in 6 months time, aside domestic borders open to each other except a still isolated NSW.
