Lots happening, maybe smarttraveller not updated quite yet?
Dunno, he's done his research, doesn't want to quarantine and the available medical insurance on arrival looks legit. Also said when the February flights announced took a couple of days for porn* BC to only have 2 seats left so looks like there will be demand from some/many who are vaccd and decide to get on with life. |
The DFAT warning will hold current until borders officially open and then countries, provinces, cities will have more specific warnings if Covid is a risk factor.
The insurance companies will take your money, as the condition on insurance just says that the DFAT warning is not current at 'time of travel', and to postpone or change travel to that location if it is. It's your responsibility to ensure you comply with terms and conditions of travel at the required time. Insurance, Warranties, etc are worth nothing if the fine print is not complied with. |

I would say DFAT will not be updated until 1st of November when you are allowed to travel without an exemption. We are still under a blanket ban for travel so DFAT reflects that. That does not mean the advice will definitely change then, but it can't until that date.

I'm guessing that would be to ensure you are double vaxed when you return…...

Perth's a no-go, Sydney the most obvious as probably most obliging, perhaps Brissie or Adelaide outside bets?? No offence to other capitals but difficult to handle the scale of the event. I am of course assuming that Chairman Dan would never renounce that which he has announced! Cheers |
Vic Premier Dan has overruled Scotty and said unvaccinated tennis players won’t be competing in Victoria. One controls the State borders the other controls the International borders. Your statement would have credence if Dan overruled the decision on the international borders. |
I don’t think there is actually any contradiction.
Scotty said “same rule for everyone, no exceptions” - and that rule is unvaccinated entry is allowed, you just need 14 days’ quarantine. Dan said “same rule for everyone, no exceptions” - and that rule is you must be vaccinated to attend or participate in the Australian Open. So Novak is welcome to come and watch the Australian Open on TV from quarantine at the Tullamarine Holiday Inn, but that’s as close as he’ll get to it. |

I have traveled to almost 100 countries and previously loved both A & NZ, but I wouldn't go back now if you gave me a free first class ticket.
Oh wait, you wouldn't let me in anyway since I haven't taken the mandatory poison... Could you list the “freedoms” Australia supposedly has given away? From your statement you seem to be in the US and relying on American media for your view of Australia, perhaps you watched Tucker Carlson’s show to form your view. If you’re talking about vaccines for entry a non US citizen needs proof of vaccination to enter the US as well you know. |

...And the freedom of an Australian citizen to return to his or her own country.

No requirement to be vaccinated (even as non-citizen). However the CDC “recommends” if you are unvaccinated, you isolate and get another test after arrival. Unlike Australia, “recommend” is not enforced, I’ve travelled to the USA twice this year with family, we were never asked about our vaccination status.

“oh but you were always allowed to return”….. If you were travelling for business (company pays) or you were a single traveller, yes. But if you didn’t have the cash, forget it ($50,000+ for a family). Is that the “egalitarian” country we all thought we lived in??? |

Ahhhh no. This is NOT a requirement to enter the USA. Any arrival over 2 years old MUST have a negative PCR test and sign a form to state they have done a test or had COVID in the last 3 months.
