All International Arrivals into Australia to self isolate for 14 days

Hard (proportionate) but fair, even if a few days late. All incoming pax on flights affected from midnight. Self quarantine for 14 days.
Cruise ships similarly restricted for 30 days initially but allowing Australians to land but then self quarantine.

I wonder if this is enough for Travel Insurance to kick in to cover those cancellation fees?

PM announces mandatory two week self-isolation for those coming to Australia
By Tom Rabe and Shane Wright
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced anyone arriving in Australia from midnight tonight will have to self-isolate for 14 days.
Cruise ships from international ports will also be banned from docking in Australia for an initial 30 days.
“This is very important, what we've seen in recent weeks, is more countries having issues with the virus and that means the source of some of those transmissions are coming from more and more countries," Mr Morrison said during a press conference in Sydney on Sunday.
Mr Morrison said while mass static gatherings of more than 500 people - like sporting events - will be cancelled, it does not yet apply to train stations and shopping centres.

It’s a good thing for us all but with considerable short term economic pain.

Good leadership.

I want to see how Qantas and Virgin are going to be supported though.

They will get cancellation fees for those who can't comply with self isolation.
 
So we've basically banned international travel into Australia, and yet we still allow travel from Australia. Surely if it's that bad we should just stop all international travel.

I feel so sorry for all those tourists flying into Australia in the next few days. Expensive holidays ruined.
