Re: Melbourne Metro restrictions
They have a better balance than a Chairman Dan lockdown.
The sad part is, the redneck general aligns with far right wing values and yet Palaszczuk is jumping on that bandwagon to secure votes leaving the values of her party behind.
She is a fake and a disgrace.

the procedure in numerous countries.
What I was contemplating was the lack of A Bill of Rights in Australia does make us potentially experiencing less freedoms than most the democratic world,

A bit of a shame you are unable to articulate the problem beyond Murdoch terminology. Andrews is no Chairman. He is part and parcel of the overall rot overall where both parties are irrelevant

OK then Australia looks like the only country where a reason needs to be submitted. We should be free to travel without filling out the forms, which is very expansive and really just eliminates the month long holiday in Europe or the week long piss up in Bali. Still it should be our choice.

The travel ban was in place before hotel quarantine was a thing and months before the arrival caps were introduced. So no, that's not the reason it exists.

Re: Melbourne Metro restrictions
The caps also give airlines are reason to reduce international service, killing airline jobs, and making hard, almost impossible for people to get back from places like Europe.

Re: Melbourne Metro restrictions
With quarantining in hotels and the need to monitor returning travellers, I can understand the need to cap the number of returnees. Hopefully, some of the new rapid testing with prove reliable enough to increase caps / reduce the need for quarantining. Unfortunately, as people cannot be trusted to do the right thing without enforced quarantine, I cannot see that changing for the near future (particularly with the increasing levels of infection being seen in Europe and elsewhere).

There is plenty more scope for quarantine in Australia. Time to open up Melbourne to carry the quarantine load - I am sure they have learned from their mistakes.
Its all about risk management, not risk avoidance. Too many upsides to outward and inward overseas travel not to move forward NOW.

I have already brought to attention the ease that 'rights' can be eroded and worse for the individual, within the context of the lack of any proclaimed rights set down in writing in Australia.
