Comments on: International borders to open with Europe-style traffic light system https://australianaviation.com.au/2021/06/international-borders-to-open-with-europe-style-traffic-light-system/ Australia's Leading News Source in Aviation Thu, 24 Jun 2021 01:06:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Lianne Eastty https://australianaviation.com.au/2021/06/international-borders-to-open-with-europe-style-traffic-light-system/#comment-140103 Thu, 24 Jun 2021 01:06:18 +0000 https://australianaviation.com.au/?p=98058#comment-140103 So the Prime Minister can travel overseas for a meeting that could have been via Zoom but dual citizens cannot leave to reunite with family, friends or dying relatives. But we can allow International students because it brings money into the country. It’s all a political game now and there is just no consideration for the mental strains placed on dual citizens who are desperate to see their family.

Within the last year and a half, I myself have struggled through a marriage separation of over 20 years, had to sell our family home and lost one of my close friends to cancer and my problems aren’t as bad as some but it’s a daily struggle not knowing when I can travel to see my family and friends. With the exception of my two children, I have no family in Australia.

We need a date to work to, even if that changes due to unforeseen circumstances, but this will encourage people to get vaccinated. Aussies who have no ties outside of the country or who aren’t concerned with International travel have no incentive to get vaccinated under the current plan.

It’s heartbreaking, frustrating and unfair.

All the checks being required for just Domestic, with borders’ closing, then opening ad infinitum, even that’s a right pain.
