Breaking The northern NSW town of Moree will be added to the Queensland-NSW border bubble, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says, as the state records zero new cases. Live updates:
Just on that last post, it should be noted that yesterday Parliament passed an extension to the Biosecurity Declaration 2020, the piece of legislation which holds Australia's international travel ban.The travel ban was put in place on March 25. While places such as the UK have adopted a restricted list of countries, Australia and is among the only countries in the world to opt for an outright ban, with limited exemptions.
Correction: This post previously said New Zealand was subject to a travel ban. They are actually only "strongly advised" to not travel.We are wanting to hear from people who are still waiting to return to Australia. Were you unable to come back earlier this year, or have your circumstances changed such that you now have to? Have you had flights cancelled? Do you think the government is doing enough to help people who need to come home do so? Send us a message using the form below.State and territory leaders will meet with the Prime Minister today for their fortnightly national cabinet meeting.
: Related to this is the pursuit of a nationally agreed upon definition of a hotspot area, which states can then look to when it comes to closing borders. Some places, such as the ACT, have been banned from travelling to other states despite having no active cases. Word is the definition the AHPPC has agreed upon is a place with more than 30 cases, but that is not confirmed.
