God damnit, when are people going to use google and get some facts. It's that easy. Being vaccinated does not stop you getting a disease. Only a space suit will do that. But being vaccinated stops you getting really sick and stops you spreading the virus to others (your body can fight the virus better and it doesn't migrate to the upper respitory tract in huge numbers). The workers housemats/family have all come back negative. So the vaccine has done precisely what it said on the box.

They recently said they wanted everyone over 50 to get vaccinated,that is hilarious because i am over 60 & when i put my details into their system to see if i am eligible it tells me i have to wait till the next stage of the rollout.
Scomo is all talk & no action,photo opportunities are his #1 priority.

Australians are now free to travel around the world. Simply catch a bubble flight to NZ, then hop on another flight to freedom. Just be warned, upon return to Australia you may face jail time or up to 63k in fines.

Provided you comply with the 72hr testing requirements and 14day quarantine on return, why would you face jail/fine? They only warn that return flights may be extremely difficult to get.

If you have an onward booking from NZ you need an exemption but I see nothing stopping you from getting to NZ then booking an international flight the next day.

From the Home Affairs website:
”*Australian citizens and permanent residents will be required to apply for an outward travel exemption before travel to New Zealand if:
- you have booked an onward flight from New Zealand to another overseas destination
Those who seek to travel from New Zealand to another international destination and then return to Australia will be required to:
- present a negative COVID-19 test result taken up to 72 hours before departure to Australia
- enter 14 days mandatory hotel quarantine on arrival at their own expense, and
- be tested periodically while in mandatory quarantine.”
If you get to NZ then book an onwards flight, what law have you broken?

Rumours suggest the Kiwi cleaners of flights coming from higher risk Covid destinations were also the same cleaners cleaning aircraft in the Tasman ‘bubble’. Net result is crew and passengers in isolation in Australia. You would have thought 12 months down the track this sort of basic stuff would have been considered and there’d be no crossover between those working the bubble and those working flights external to the bubble.

Straya the prison island. Travel exemption makes me mad, if someone wants to leave why can’t they? Maybe sign a disclaimer saying yes I know it’s going to be an absolute clusterfook trying to get back but I’ll wear it.
If this latest round of C19 crapstick happening will Straya now really get serious about the jab?
AZ, Pfizer, whatever jab jab jab! Problem is a lot of Strayans don’t see the need. Until this changes to leave it will be prison break.
Ahh for the term of his natural life, Straya back to the prison island it started as.

We should be ashamed of what we’ve become. Our forefathers who gave so much for this country would be disgusted.

However there have been some. When we had an outbreak in an MIQ hotel, it was discovered that a number - a dozen or so IIRC - of people who had been isolated in that hotel couldn't be contacted for follow-up because they had already skipped to Australia. To somewhat mitigate this risk, Australia introduced a new rule that you couldn't access quarantine-free travel from NZ to Australia unless you had been in NZ for fourteen days after leaving MIQ.
