Australia news live: Scott Morrison says reopening international borders risks 1,000 Covid cases a week

What I’m working on right now, is that where an Australian is vaccinated under our program, when they will be able to travel overseas.

I would think in the initial stages, particularly for essential purposes, business, things like that, medical reasons, friends and family, important events, funerals, and so on.

That could be done and return to Australia without the need for a hotel quarantine of 14 days and to be able to do that either at home or under some other less stringent environment than you have with hotel quarantine.

Now that would require being vaccinated and I think that would be an important incentive for people to do that.
