“It’s very hard to put a precise timeline or indicator on it because there’s a range of factors again that will influence that,” he said. “We’re dealing now - in May of 2021 - with arguably a more uncertain global environment with the management of COVID than we had a few months ago.
“The spike in relation to cases in India and indeed some other parts of the world that we’ve seen upwards trajectory, in including parts of the world which had been boasting about early vaccination trends. “These create uncertainties, the uncertainties around aspects of the vaccine rollout including the duration of effectiveness of vaccines, what it means in relation to other variants of COVID. “They’re all factors that we will have to take into consideration.
Could do with a trip now 🤦🏻♂️
Nooooooo! 😥
The borders should be open to vaccinated people now. The border should never have been closed for people leaving
Birmo ur cast of muppets have spread disproportionate fearmongering msgs to Aussies so that they’re programmed to hear & fear the worst. U failed to vaccinate or explain the importance of it for restoring the nations liberties. It’s a disgrace & sad ScottMorrisonMP GregHuntMP
He needs to put a sock in it!
'Not enough people have been primed to accept the jab and the COVID Passport. So we'll have to scare them even more!' - Govt spokesperson speaking on the condition of anonymity.
That is now, because now it is dangerous, but will change soon as Europe and US are opening up and traveling because majority is vaccinated, people’s mood will change here quickly. Just wait and see. I got my jab already so ready to go
Well Big fuck off to all you Australians 🖕
It's already in the country. Been in the country for a year. What they should be closing the borders to are authoritarian power-mad WANKERS.
Now it's Australian's fault we can't fly because we don't want covid, not gov fault for telling us we can't regardless, really double speak at its finest
Well that’s what you hear if you only listen with the right one
why, why u do this to us, we r stuck here, this is your resposibility shame on, u act like coward
sprinkl45400315 I bet if Simon Birmingham asked some random Australians would they like no taxes on alcohol and no fines for speeding he would get a clear message 😃that it’s a fantastic idea. Government should be instilling confidence and educating with facts . Not scaremongering like they are
Back to how you started....full of prisoners, but homegrown this time 🤦🏼♀️
'It’s very hard to put a precise timeline or indicator on it because there’s a range of factors again that will influence that...We’re dealing now - in May of 2021' That's right, it's 2021, over a year after the 'temporary' border closure and strandedAussies are still stranded
Bit like a prison…..how it all started
Birmingham is a fool !
If the Govt & Media stopped instilling fear every day it might be a different story. Covering up again for crap Vaccine rollout & quarantine facilities 🤦🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Completely ridiculous Birmo. The Indian covid death rate is currently about 2.7 per million. Average age of death average life expectancy.
Clear message from whom?
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ZERO RISK OF CATCHING A VIRUS Decide on how much risk you're willing to accept, and engage in the activities you choose to engage in. But you don't get to make those decisions for others. You don't get to remake society to suit your preferences.
Welcome North Korea.
clear message for happy slaves not applicable for rich and famous
good by Alcatraz island
Bang on! Until the world wakes up to the fact that until we have a sterilizing vaccine, the vaccination strategy is flawed and we will continue to see more and more dangerous variants. Leaky vaccines are the wrong weapon to fight this war.
yet thailand is opening
What clear message? Clear as mud to me? Why vaccinate if we have no plan to get on with living again
Is already here
The Federal government complained when Labor states close their boarder and yet they close Australia’s boarders the Australian citizens coming from India but didn’t do that to Hillsongers coming from America on the Ruby Princess the Morrison government is racist
“There’s been a clear message” that our power hungry politicians don’t care about what we want. Fear is the best way to keep us all under control, right? NotMyAustralia
Why didn’t Minister Birmingham & the LNP have the same attitude wrt COVID & the Ruby Princess?
Also good to have break from migration and get Australians back into work ?
We saw when the federal liberals and nsw liberals allowed the ruby princes to dock in Sydney and the consequences of the liberals incompetence
Yes sure saddle the future generations with more debt . What a doofus attitude
Not a reality in the long term. Vaccinate elderly and vulnerable and get back to normal.
Cov 19 laws are a violation to our costutution and human rights they over rule ...passes bill by labor and liberals .Where has the indian do gooders been for the last year china .
Lets finally kill all the small business and reopen when there is no competition. This has been on a plan for some time. Thank you people helping us. Yours large US Company.
Our political leaders are cowards. Disgraceful.
Please change your name from the LIBERAL party!
No caps. Every effort should be made by the Australian government to allow Australian citizens to repatriate. The UK and the US allows its citizens home. Australia, on its ‘war footing’, seems happy to abandon its own people on foreign battlefields.
The borders are open if you have $
Where the boarders actually closed? Hollywood actors flown in, cricketer flown out, and 1000’s allowed out (with permission to return) for weddings, funerals and business. All whilst we still have approx 40k stranded aussies who have not been able to return home for mths.
say good bye to international tourism sector then, say welcome to brain-drain then,Australia is going to be behind a covidWall which means that it is a closed system and those systems NEVER grow or do well..
And then they complain people dont wanna get vaccinated. If you are not gonna give any posive hope or incentive to people then why would people want to take the vaccine? Case numbers dont matter if most vulnerable are vaccinated. Why is the government not giving any positive msg?
Hermit Kingdom
Meanwhile politicians and the Rich and famous cruise around the world like nothing has changed
Yes well there is not a real lot of confidence in out Quarantine system is there Mr Brummie 🙄🙄🙄
We are fearful of Covid 19 + variants because of the failures of our Federal Government.
Who exactly has provided this “clear message”?!?!
it'll be fine. the vaccines work great.
Jeez, when did Aussies turn into such pussies?
Nothing to do with a glacial vaccination rollout speed? birmo auspol
