Australian Government announces timeline on international border opening

[SuitesRbest]

Announced yesterday that international travel will slowly start MID 2022.

 

What does this do for local cruising???

It depends.

 

Local cruising could restart late this year without the international border being open IF exemptions were given for the ships' crews, who would probably arrive with the ship and would need to be vaccinated, pre-quarantined before joining the ship, and tested on arrival here.

 

However since most of the governments are biased against cruise ships it's unlikely to happen.

May be ... we could call cruise ships..... ferries  would that work ??

Do you know whether the government formally announced this or is this referring to the assumptions listed in the budget papers?

Do you have a link to the source of this announcement? The only articles I could find referenced the budget papers.🤔
