I have no idea whether they are the rules or not, but news reports last week had Qld police turning back NSW residents who had specialist appointments in SE Qld and were told to make specialist appointments in their own State - as well as NSW resident school teachers who work in SE Qld schools.Quote:

Also reports today of Goulburn residents going to Canberra for their second vaccination being turned back at the ACT border.Quote:

That will, change at the end of the month to under 16s, and at some stage down to 12.
At this stage none of the vaccines are approved for under 12s.
That leaves a big gap.
But I agree those who choose to not get vaccinated get to live with that choice, and those few who can't, need ALL of the rest of us vaxed.

Goulburn isn't part of the border area that is allowed into the ACT as part of the border arrangements so I would assume that is correct unless they have applied for an exemption.Quote:

From what I can figure, the key question from the Doherty Report is, will we accept 'living with the virus' if that means about 30 cases spreading into 35,000 - 55,000 in 6 months?
For comparison, NSW currently has about 10,000 cases.
Can't speak for other states, but in Qld life is already currently relatively normal with minimal restrictions after repeated lockdowns and tough border restrictions. I doubt if people here would be happy with that many cases, particularly if a large number of them were unvaccinated children. I wouldn't.
Why is Australia at odds over the Doherty report and what does it say about opening up the country? | Coronavirus | The Guardian
According to the news I have seen, the ACT has said they will not give exemptions for vaccination, but will supply NSW Health with the vaccines for those who have already got their first shot.Quote:

IF NSW wants to go down this very dangerous path then there is SFA I can do about it except hope and prey that the WA government keeps this virus locked out of the State until we have Everyone vaccinated and not just 70-80% (Not including kids) like NSW ( and the PM) is espousing.
