TAS Border Control
TAS Border Control
Is the state of Tasmania constitutionaly able to close its borders. is any state able to do so.
I just did a quick check on NOTAMS, there's no prohibition on flying a private aircraft from any point in mainland to any point in Tasmania. If you don't put a plan in, they won't even know you did it.

Turn off your transponder, iPad, iPhone, OZRunways and Avplan if you do!
Unprecedented times, who would have EVER imagined this and it’s just the start!
I had an appointment in Burnie in the morning tomorrow and was going to fly a small single there... the ruling is apparently not excluding essential flight crew. I guess as the pilot I’m good to go! I will have to cancel to play it safe.

You can always be creative: Transponder off for the crossing, then touch and go at a small CTAF aerodrome, e.g. George Town in order to switch transponder on during the roll and on to Burnie. That's it, methinks.
Of course there will be a telling gap between flights if you look it up on the likes of flight radar but I'd like to think that government is currently busier doing more relevant things than running consistency checks on private GA aircraft.
Obviously, don't ask for SKEDS.

Doesn't our constitution provide for "free and unfettered trade between the states"? Like nomorecatering, this one raised doubts of the legality of this move...
The states closed their borders during the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1919/1920 so there is precedent. As the current restrictions show medical emergency trumps free and unfettered trade.
They aren’t stopping you flying there, you just have to isolate for 14 days... unless I’m mistaken on that.
ScoMo is applying his marketing knowledge called “the Overton window”.
This is the range of policies that are possible at any given time:
‘A given policy is :-
Then “keep everything open”, “work from home”, “500 max”, “100 max”, “four square meters”, and now “maybe suburban lockdowns.”
That should tell you that we will be at total lockdown by the end of next weekend.
The Overton window approach is required to try and prevent the general population from panicking which would do more damage than Coronavirus.

I think he’s actually started listening to the experts for once on this issue instead of making his usual smart ar$e response.
Edit: I agree that further restrictions will be in place in a week.
