Travel likely off the cards for Australians until 2021

Federal Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham says it is likely that Australia's borders will remain all but closed until next year.

In the meantime, the Government is hoping to set up a travel bubble with New Zealand in the second half of 2020 and also wants to allow in some international university students.

"I hope that we can look eventually at some of those countries who have similar successes suppressing the spread of COVID-19 to Australia and New Zealand," Senator Birmingham said.

"But I do, sadly, think that in terms of open tourist-related travel in or out of Australia, that remains quite some distance off, just because of the practicalities of the volumes that are involved and the need for us to first and foremost keep putting health first."

He explained general travel was "more likely" to be on the agenda for 2021.

@Rob *****

don’t see why the gov would under report given that restrictions on businesses and social activities are being relaxed. If there is a higher than reported amount of cases the gov would probably delay the relaxation of restrictions. I doubt if the Thai economy could weather a second wave lockdown.

@Bobby *******

incorrect. With an OA you just need to report to Immigration every 90 days

Or ask St George who they will accept transfers from
