WA won't open to fully vaccinated people from NSW and VIC this year.
And for those who think domestic vaccine passports are a good idea; NSW finds a 84 year old retired doctor who has handed out ~700 vaccine exemptions without proper consultation.

I can't believe the people of WA are standing for this, surely there is a large cohort that have families in NSW/VIC that want to see them for Xmas? Amazing they are tolerating being locked into their state for so long.
And that DR had better be seeing more than just some minor sanctions - I see the police have "handed him over" to health authorities though, so probably not.

The amount of backslapping in that press conference yesterday by the Qld Government was embarrassing.
mate, they wheel themselves out for a daily press conference to say "zero cases" it's absolutely ridiculous
It's like our daily propaganda broadcast. Fuck off woman and only speak when you have something to say. This is effectively a loooooong political campaign with no election in sight

@antipodean i just saw ACT >95% first dose and basically 83% double dose. Why in the fuck is the entire joint not open?
There are some dumb motherfucking rules coming out in the Qld backpatathon. So, if you only let vaccinated people in to your establishment, you operate under different restrictions than if you just let anyone in is one fucking stupendous piece of policy writing.
And the roadmap to opening is looking a fair way off as the Qld vaccine rollout actually slows, not speeds up.

Awesome
i have questions
If he was in Melbourne 10 days ago, how has he been "out in the community"
Is the 14 days of hotel quarantine not mandatory? Can you just fly back and say "fuck it"?

All of the below for one case 🙄
**Low risk jurisdictions** * Before travelling to WA, complete a mandatory G2G Pass registration and declaration. * Complete a health screening on arrival. * Scan your G2G Pass and then verify you have suitable premises for self-quarantine. * If you have suitable premises, enter self-quarantine for 14 days. If not, you will be directed to enter a Government-approved quarantine facility at your own expense for 14 days. * You must wear a mask from when you enter WA until you arrive at suitable self-quarantine premises or government approved quarantine facilities. In addition if travelling by air, you must also wear a mask on the flight while in WA airspace, and while inside the airport (with some exceptions – e.g. children under the age of 12 are not required to wear a mask). * Travellers are subject to a COVID-19 test within 48 hours of arrival and on day 12 of quarantine, or at any point when symptoms develop. * A mask must be worn while travelling to and from the COVID Clinic.

Wife mate has a girl in kind, they started back this week. 4 days in and the school is closed again because of 1 case.
Can anyone remind me why we bothered to get vaccinated again?
What?
Holy shit. I might even be glad that I didn’t get my ‘dream’ job in Oz last year.

Nuts hey? If this is "living with Covid" I'm not very impressed
As an aside, we almost booked a ski trip to Japan for Jan, Tokyo for 5 days - then realised that we'd still have to quarantine on arrival - I thought that had been lifted in Japan, clearly not?

No, for some countries you can isolate at home for 10 days, and others 14, but still need to do it

@kiwiwomble said in Coronavirus - Australia:
@voodoo does japan have hotel quarantine? someone was saying the other day NZ and Aus were the only ones in the world that did that
You do it at home
Big rule is no public transport
You can actually go shopping for essentials (I believe) but cant use transport

yeah, that's my understanding - it's better than 14 days hotel Q, but it's nowhere good enough to get tourists (inc us) there

I'd do 14 days at Tomamu.
