All borders to reopen.
The CLP was voted out when MR Gunner took the helm, politics in the NT at that time put shame to the Rudd Gillard Rudd & Tony and Malcolm debacles combined.
Mr Gunner himself could easily challenge Trump for Tweet/comment of the day.
Well before Covid and including the CLP the economy has been declining, a walk down the mall is evident - not even the historic pub survived (this is Darwin do not forget).
Gunner getting re-elected is pretty amazing.
New York got hit hard and ended up in a 3 month lock down.
They came up with a re-open plan and reached the target June 7, the following day phase 1 of 4 was started.
Clearly they are still very nervous of this pandemic (after first hand experience) but they have a published plan based on a number of things some are cases per day and number of hospital & ICU beds available, all pretty sensible stuff.

Interesting they have border restrictions via a formula also a less than 24 hour exclusion.

A quick question for you guys in Oz. I am trying to get home to Perth but at the moment there are only flights to Sydney. Can one stay in transit in Sydney and then ones arrive in Perth quarantine for 14 days, or would I have to quarantine in Sydney for 14 days as well. I know its not about the subject of this thread but looks like some of the guys would know. Thanks

- certain senior Government Officials
- certain active military personnel
- a member of the Commonwealth Parliament and any members of their staff travelling with them
- a person carrying out functions under a law of the Commonwealth
- the Premier of WA and any members of the Premier's staff
- a person coming to WA at the request of the Chief Health Officer or the Director General of Health
- any person (other than an airline or maritime crew member) responsible for transport or freight and logistics services into or out of WA
- In addition, persons falling into the above categories are required to comply with certain hygiene requirements during the 14 days after the date they entered WA.

Then when you get to WA you'd have to quarantine again.
Study very carefully the directions in https://www.wa.gov.au/government/doc...der-state-wide
Note that you will need to consider multiple documents there - the original directions, then 4 amendments. Print them out, get a highlighter put them in reverse date order and good luck!
You will be best served flying straight in to PER on EK or Qatar if you can wait. Even business class might be cheaper in the long run (not having to pay multiple quarantine and flights and hotels - there aren't flights every day to Perth these days).
And these regulations are dynamic. They can change at a day's notice and don't care that you have a ticket....

Hospitalizations are happening but at a far lower rate! Hardly startling...
What is the average Covid positive age of 35 relevant too?
Spain a comparable country? I find Spain and Italy more comparable.
short flights long nights
Due to the Europeans need for a summer holiday every year ( and I worked in Europe for 17 years .. so I know how it works) .. it seems that outbreaks are being reported again. I don’t understand why they can’t all stay put at home for a year.

Australia is one of about half a dozen that didn't, albeit a couple of weeks distance ed. for some, but open nonetheless.
Alongside Taiwan, Singapore and yes, Sweden.
Yes here.
Sweden will reopen universities and upper secondary schools from mid-June, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven told a press conference on Friday.
Currently with that plan you'd the 14 days federal quarantine in Sydney when you arrive. My reading of the state regs (with the caveat that I'm more familiar with the aircrew exemptions, rather than for Joe public) says that you'd then you need to go somewhere else than NSW/VIC to quarantine then apply for a G2G pass to enter WA. If you think of QLD as you will have to quarantine again in QLD as you have been in NSW as a hotspot.
Then when you get to WA you'd have to quarantine again.

Dan Andrews wants another 12 months of state of emergency till Sept 21. Power has now gone to his head.
This needs to be blocked and not passed by the house. If it is then borders closed till then. I thought Sept 20 was
driving me to the brink. He want's another 12 well if that happens I can sense a coup by the people.

Who’s going to lead the coup? You with your garlic strung around your neck?

Well this has got me so furious, I have actually written to the Governor of Victoria, the Honourable Linda Dessau AC
to express my views and asking her to sack the government with immediate effect. If Kerr can do it you can do it.

It can only currently be in place for a 6 month duration (that date is coming up very soon); the Vic government is proposing to make it a maximum of 18 months. Passing this bill would result in government spending less $$ drafting new legislation every time the State of Emergency lapses.
This is completely unrelated to the border closure (by NSW).
