Australian state border restrictions

[N860CR]

Didn't that ship sail a few tides back?

To an extent, yes, but that example is a little blatant. Plenty would use that phrase to describe the PM or opposition leader, but I can’t see it being accepted quite so happily.

I’m not sure if a news source that refers to somebody as “human excrement” is worthy of reposting.

Given how famously litigious Clive Palmer is I wonder what the reasoning would have been to select such a headline?

Under current ACT rules my triple-dosed daughter (who lives at the other end of the house and has been a complete stranger to me for the past several years) testing positive means that my triple-dosed self cannot mask up, travel to Hobart with other masked-up triple-dosed people, and walk around the mountains by myself for ten days, because of the risks I would purportedly pose to the ultra-vaccinated communities on either side.

These are still "state border restriction", even if only indirectly.

Why not? No one is tracking anything. Close household contacts are literally days away from being junked. Whatever

Which part of “under current ACT rules” did you struggle to understand?

None but why are you worried?

"Rules are meant to be broken" was something that most of us would remember from teenage years. But the way governments have been carrying on has wound back the clock a few years for a few.....

It's a pity some people are too obtuse to see the ramifications of letting pandemicrats set a precedent by leaving pointless rules in place for well beyond their use-by date. Good luck next time around when we need widespread public cooperation again.

But I get it,"lol whatever who cares get a life loser" is just so much wittier and thoughtful.

I guess you're in the finance or real estate sectors then....

No...if I break the rules in my job, someone gets killed and I end up in prison...fair chance I'd get COVID there I guess, but also probably the least of my disease-related concerns...

Apps can be very useful, easily change/update details etc. I needed to change my arrival date into WA this week so opened the app - nope can’t amend details in the app have to go to the website

Why on earth do I need to upload a copy of my identity document AND proof of my current residential address to the WA G2G system??

What a joke

Edit: AND a copy of my vaccination certificate

In the past 3 weeks I have been to

Turkey
Switzerland
Norway

And none have asked for any of this rubbish

The joke is that it auto approves anyway, you could upload a maccas reciept and it would approve....not that anyone is checking them at the airports anyway.....hopefully will be scrapped soon.

The most stupid thing was that after I selected yes to transiting interstate prior to arriving in WA, it wanted state of departure and time of departure. But if I was coming from overseas, this info wasn't required.

And yep auto approved

I uploaded my Swiss vaccine certificate, since I don't have my Australian one handy.

Complete waste of time and money for the taxpayer.

I mean, after the money they’ve all p’d away on border formalities over the last two years, it’s probably not even on the radar anymore

As all the FIFOs found out and have been writing massive FO rubbish in theirs and posting to Reddit / very entertaining
