All borders to reopen.
Greater Sydney is essentially the whole state in my employers book. It’s not a viable operation relying on regional pax to get the Sydney base moving.
Click of the fingers and she is closed again. I reckon that will play out soon after they open the gates to Greater Sydney again.
As mentioned elsewhere the consequences of not getting FNQ and SEQ tourism moving for a few months before potential months of rolling downpours early next year will destroy what hope is left.
You really need to pray we don’t get a cyclone this upcoming wet season. The met guys are a tad nervous.

In addition to Queensland opening up to the rest of NSW except Sydney.
WA will be opening up to QLD, SA, NT, TAS, ACT from November 14
NSW & VIC travellers or WA residents returning from NSW/VIC will still have to quarantine in WA.
So overall, the border situation after November 14 will basically be only "locked to Victorians" from most states. Still locked to Greater Syd (Qld) and all of NSW (WA).

Looks like Sweden was only country to do the right thing & close nothing. Only deaths in old peoples homes (maybe they should have locked them down, maybe)

Nothing was closed, economy as normal.
It now appears you don't even need herd immunity as it turns out, corona is just a bad case of flu. Look at 100s of billions wasted & continue being wasted. Businesses & lives ruined & for what ?

So, Sweden went from 4,944 deaths on June 08 to 5,934 today, a 20% increase in nearly 5 months, yet in that time, cases went from 71,667 cases to 121,167 a nearly 70% increase. The data doesn't lie, the fatality rate there is dropping substantially, even with increasing cases.

all deaths in sweden are old people & others who are vulnerable, so no need to close the country & everything in it. Close the nursing homes if you must. No nursing home residents are running around the country or flying anywhere. Same with cancer patients with reduced immunity.

Believe it is a contract position, you could choose not renew when the current one expires which is SOP for govt to move on people in higher positions. Whilst I don't agree with her, not a reason to boot her.
I think Taiwan with 9 deaths....no lockdown, has done a bit better than Sweden.
one of the first to close border to China.
masks mandatory in public, social distancing, and a purpose built quarantine/hospital built after sars ready to go.
Western governments did nothing, despite continual warnings from the experts that a pandemic was inevitable.

Despite what the media says, make your own judgement.

By any objective public health or economic measure I wouldn't be holding Sweden up as an example of how to manage coronavirus.
Except that it manifestly is not just a bad case of flu. Coronavirus is currently the third most prevalent cause of death in the US. So third leading cause of death and that's from a late start at the end of February so covering just 8 months of the year.
That is most likely the case in the UK also - third leading cause of death (in Sweden it is currently number 5, possibly number 4 by year's end).
In a surprise to no one, QF has decided to close bookings to USA and UK until October 2021 at the earliest. Given the state of the virus overseas, this is expected and if no vaccine becomes viable will probably extend further. On a more positive note, they have kept bookings open for potential bubble locations like Japan, NZ, Singapore, Fiji and Hong Kong.

I simply can’t believe that some people on here.. ( that I assume are professional pilots ), think this thing is ‘just the flu’. Have you read about the after affects if you survive? You may never fly again. What don’t some people get?
