NSW is getting out of the quarantine game for vaccinated arrivals from 01 November. Who is going to take over?
The moment an international traveller steps foot outside a terminal they will be free to do as they wish inside NSW.
The real question is how long the other states/territories will be able to justify their own quarantine requirements from now on.
Not sure what you mean here, it contradicts itself. The Federal Government is unlikely to open the International Borders until all the States are ready and agree to do so.
In the case when one or two states are holding out, then the borders can still be open Nationally and any restrictions into any one state is on that state alone.
