All borders to reopen.
There’s not even a requirement to do an ID check for domestic travel, and they want them to check for correct passes? As someone else pointed out, how does airline staff verify the pass holders haven’t lied?
Perhaps it would just be easier to scrap Melbourne to Sydney flights at the moment all together. I recall last year only one flight a day between the pair at its worst.

Actually he was pretty brutal towards the airlines in the presser, what did he say, taxpayers have been bailing out the airlines as such, so time for them to start doing something for us...

of his depth. He is a money counter, bean counter, he only knows politics and how to win elections. Westgate tunnel project will cost
us another 3.3 billion and no finish date.
“I want a hard border but I’m not prepared to police a hard border”.
I saw a captain told to isolate for 14 days and the FO let go free.
Captain blew up and spoke to a supervisor from DHS who said he was fine to go.
and that’s officials only policing their own state rules.
How a 20 year old at check in is supposed to understand the daily evolving rules for the 8 other state/territories and police them is patently ridiculous.

BTW, rights do not apply to airline travel in regards to this as airlines don't count as common carriers for the purpose of public transport, so they have the right to refuse travel of anyone.
Emperor of the West is wanting to make mandatory vaccination for NSW to enter his promise lands. If QF cant make it mandatory without being liable for side affects, would McGoose be held liable if I'm walking around peel and drop because I have had a reaction?
The vast majority of interstate travel this past 18 months for me has involved different police/DHS officers giving different instructions.

I’m not advocating for this sort of thing btw and I don’t see it being adopted, but if you make your bed, lie in it.
Last year when Vic was persona non grata everywhere, when paxing to WA, before security was a checkpoint where you had to show your G2G pass and boarding pass.
How it would affect the current arrangement where you can go through security domestically if not travelling I'm not sure, but just pointing out that there is a precedent. It wasn't run by the airlines IIRC.

Just find it amazing no one appears to think the person travelling has any responsibility for deciding whether they should travel or not - surely that should be where the buck starts and stops?
Can't see the problem with airlines doing it, simple adjustment to T&C, "no jab no fly" and documents checked at check in/boarding, exactly how its done to insure revenue for the flight. Have no proof, don't fly, better have good excuse or lose ticket, no refund, this is already done for other medical conditions that are prohibited for flight without a doctors cert. Cost to airline, Nada, as its already done for revenue assurance. In fact there's actual cost benefit to the airline as preventing spread of communicable diseases will save the company in sick leave costs overall.
Cost of setting up TSA style security at state/fed cost, $5-$20 per passenger head tax or from public tax revenue of similar amount.
What would I prefer? Pretty sure the answers obviously the free of cost option.

No point to having a vaccination passport. Israel, UK and Iceland, are reporting that Delta is spreading despite being vaccinated. The virus will spread whether you travel vaccinated or not.
Holy ****
When exactly is the peak of this thing?

That being said the death rate is much lower in the vaccinated currently so infection rate is not the prime concern there.
466 today. Reminds me of the old NSW numberplates: NSW - The First State!
What I find amusing, but moreso concerning, is the Armidale lockdown being extended by a week, despite there being zero cases detected up there since that Newcastle bird toured the area. But, as usual, it's "based on the health advice"
By that token, shouldn't Perth still be locked down? I mean, they had a positive case a while back. And Cairns too. When the health advice is consistent advice across the various CHO's and Premiers, people might start taking it seriously. But they can't get their stories straight, and that makes a mockery of the entire process.

Armidale lockdown to extend for an extra seven days despite no casesThe Premier has announced an extension of the Armidale lockdown. She said this was due to health advice, despite no cases.
There were 26 new cases in Dubbo and surrounding areas announced. There were 16 new cases on the Hunter and New England region. Source

I’m no expert but it will peak when things get really serious , hospitals become over capacity and deaths spike massively.
Probably 3-4000 cases a day is my guess.

It’s not the rules that are at issue in NSW, it’s the willingness of the the population to comply. Victoria leaned the hard way last year that you may think you’re the epicentre of the known world, but you still have to follow the rules. NSW are still learning…
