All borders to reopen.
A slight inconvenience but nothing compared to the inconvenience of lockdowns, even half baked ones like Sydney.
Every traveller in an Australian airport or aircraft this year has had to wear a mask the whole time but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm for domestic travel at all. Make it mandatory across the board and people will just get on with life.

Can’t Gladys just do it properly, and lock the place down? A painter going from Sydney to the regions to paint a house is NOT essential and not a lockdown. It however, does cause spread.
This will annoy the libertarians amongst us, but I solidly support mandatory masks at least indoors until vaccination levels are high enough.

On another note, great to see most of the crew rolling their sleeves up and getting the big V. Only met one girl that didn't want it (Incase she lost her medical and couldn't get a payout from her insurance etc). Honestly didn't know what to tell her.

The main issue in NSW is the low testing rates.
went to a Covid test in a ‘red zone’ today and there was no queue, only two other cars on site.
I think the actual rate of Covid in the community is much higher than the daily numbers would suggest.

The problem is with those who are opposed to being TOLD to wear masks.
And many of those are opposed to just about everything.
And that is definitely a form of anarchy.
If everyone is locked in their homes, the testing rate means didly!!
Honestly, the last little Lock down Melbourne had I observed the complete opposite. Most people were Just going about their normal life irrespective of any restrictions. I Was even surprised to see many of the crew that were devout followers of the restrictions last time, not really care anymore. However, there was certainly an element of common sense being applied. E.g. wear a mask around people, don't go visit granny if sick, isolate after a test etc. I couldn't care less if my neighbour has his son over for dinner that lives 5.5km away. But don't have a massive party FFS. Can't we all apply a bit of common sense and get on with life?

Like you say,how hard is it to put a mask on if required to do so or stay away from those you love if you dont feel well.
I worked in the airline industry for 40 + years & know full well the fears of my x workmates still there.
The situation the country finds itself in yet again can be attributed to the selfish people in our world i.e 3 X furniture removalists.

Reports here in the West that Victoria will lock down at midnight.
Are the going to jail these removal people? Seems like they have caused a big mess.

Not saying your second statement is wrong though.
