Australian state border restrictions

[justinbrett]

I have a client going to Norfolk Island this weekend for a meeting on Monday. Oddly, the advise doesn’t seem to have changed for Sydney. Anybody been keeping an eye on them in the past to guess their border hysteria? I’ll admit that it’s somewhere I’ve ignored.

They did close to Melbourne, I'd say it's inevitable they will close to Sydney. Probably just a bit slower on the gun. You need a pass anyway so for all we know they are calling people directly and assessing on a case by case basis.

I’m actually quite surprised/pleased that VIC and TAS are holding out on not banning NSW....

 

[jrfsp]

VIC just declared all of greater SYD a red zone

Positive case flew in from Sydney to Melbourne at the weekend.....

I see Victoria have re-introduced a transit category to their permit system. Straightforward and clear. Well done them.

Edit - OK, they now only get 9/10. The wording of the permit itself appears to be hard coded as follows, no matter the origin (in my case, Hobart, totally 'Green')

So, I live in CBR.
Flying syd-cns on 9/7. Will I be allowed to transit sydney airport?

If we are still locked down don’t necessarily expect the flight to operate. You could proactively call to see if you can get on to CBR-BNE-CNS

I would be doing this as well

Either way, guess I won't be booking NLK anytime soon anyway, even if they have rewards deals at the moment.

Breaking: QLD reinstalls hard borders at road crossings to NSW


Mr Miles said there was concern about people from Sydney holidaying alongside Queenslanders in northern New South Wales over the school holiday period, so local border passes will be reintroduced from 1:00am on Monday.

"Because of the school holidays and the New South Wales outbreak, the Sydney outbreak, we will be requiring those border declaration passes for everyone who crosses the border for the period of this New South Wales outbreak," Mr Miles said.

Queensland records two new COVID cases as border rules set to tighten on travellers

I've changed my mind and really can't see that state governments will give up this sort of thing even after the pandemic, especially with "border declaration passes" and the like. At that point the only solution would be a successful challenge in the high court. Even then the police can't help themselves as has been demonstrated in WA with the QR codes.

I really cannot see border closures and QR codes continuing after the pandemic. These are only emergency measures.

Can you honestly see American tourists checking in at venues?

 

[jrfsp]

Agreed - the measures wont be continued - they cost too much for the states to run.

The measures in WA won't stay. They only have force while the state of emergency is in place. I believe Queensland is the same, the powers are declared under the emergency declaration.

It may just come into how long they can justify the emergency powers
