You Couldn't Make it Up

Currently, there’s a travel ban in place for overseas travel from Australia. However, as of 19 April 2021, quarantine-free travel between Australia and New Zealand is permitted. 

The travel ban means Australians cannot leave Australia for non-essential reasons (i.e. a holiday). If an Australian does have an essential reason, they must obtain permission from the Department of Home Affairs. 

On 9 May, Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack, said that international travel could return in 2022. He said, “We’re hoping, we’re counting, we’re banking on, of course, international travel being back to some sort of pre-COVID normality next year.”


Meanwhile, 4 flights a day are arriving at Heathrow from India, we can travel virtually anywhere we want - there is only guidance from the government, not rules - and passengers from Green, Orange and Red areas are mixing freely in a single Arrival Hall at Heathrow.

On Thursday the UK recorded 2,874 new cases – the highest daily figure for new cases in over a month

You couldn't make it up! A government which lacks any common sense whatsoever is advising us to use common sense.
