And just like that:Interesting in SA media. That SA para-olympians could be part of the first trial in a couple of months. Need to have been vaccinated in Australia.
Well they may make exceptions for those who have been in a special bubble such as an "Olympics Bubble" that may qualify as medium risk whereas being out in the general Japanese community at the moment may be high risk.Travellers are only eligible if their double Covid vaccine dose is administered in Australia and they are arriving from low or medium risk countries...
Hmmmm, Tokyo is low risk?
Yep, that’s the national pace…it’s not a race…The trial … is expected to begin late next month
Clearly it's been all mapped out and will start next month. My guess. Next will be the student hub. For overseas low risk vaccinated students.Yep, that’s the national pace…it’s not a race…
I was fully vaccinated in April. A nice starting point would be to recognise that this happened (the two apps that show that I was). And home quarantine now!I won't be fully vaccinated till late September, but I would like home quarantine to be more widely available come mid-November (about 6 weeks after my second dose), but next year is more realistic.
Tokyo is low risk?
Absolutely not, surging cases and in a state of emmergency.
I thought it was stage 1? I just hope that after the ADF and Olympians the Govts just don't give themselves a hearty Pat on the back and then we don't hear any more for months while "we review".Great that the trial begins next month when it was only stage 2 of the non plan.Most of us thought that would next year.Getting out in february I reckon has gone from a 55 chance to 10%.
SA has been in a State of Emergency since March last year and the Premier is not in control, the Police Commissioner is. We have an election in 9 months time, so wonder if the PC will be on the ballot?Aren't pretty much all Australian states currently in a state of emergency? Victoria certainly is.

You forgot the middle step of "initial results have been encouraging but we now need to trial having some more trials".So Paralympics return early September. Let's look at the timelines for this much heralded "trial" ... start (maybe?) during September, run for a month or two, then another month or two to analyse results. This should mean there is an announcement sometime during December giving a date for when the results of the trial will be announced. And an announcement during January about when the next announcement (about policy changes) will be made.
Might be the covid Status run! They will have to guarantee that people trialling it (must be SA residents, must be vaccinated) will actually have a seat to fly home on!You forgot the middle step of "initial results have been encouraging but we now need to trial having some more trials".
She can perfectly do this over zoom, like she recommends to any other business. Olympics is important? Not sure if it is, but even if it is, so are many other business events. One rule for them another for us. I signed the petition. Sure it wont change politicians minds but may create useful publicity.But wait a sec - the vote on the Brisbane 2032 Olympics is set for July 21- very soon - surely this is sufficient justification for Anna et al to go to Tokyo. Maybe the announcement will be made while she's there. No sense objecting in any case - she's going and will not change her mind.
I was able to find availability 23/7 on the Qantas website yesterday...probably close to the time this was posted.@Seat0B just a heads up that DFAT/Qantas has just put on repat flights from london departing 21,22 and 23 July. If your son can get himself there might be worth a call on the embassy?
We discussed this earlier up thread and it was determined there weren’t exactly vast numbers of first-time exemptions (let alone multiple-time exemptions) who had already joined the return to Australis queue given expectations they were at least 3 months away.... for those who left Australia over 3-6 months ago, how many could have been fully vaccinated before they left ? narrow eligibility criteria Seems a good way to kybosh a successful trialMight be the covid Status run! They will have to guarantee that people trialling it (must be SA residents, must be vaccinated) will actually have a seat to fly home on!
