All state and territory borders to re-open by Christmas - except one

Prime Minister Scott Morrison during a press conference in the Prime Minister's courtyard in Canberra.

Flight caps to limit numbers going into mandatory 14 day hotel quarantine mean seats on commercial airlines are strictly limited.He said Queensland will take an extra 150 people a week, and said Canberra and Darwin were also adding capacity, but didn't reveal numbers.The prime minister said he is meeting the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews next week to see how progress is being made on reopening Melbourne Airport, which will increase flight caps across the country.

Mr Morrison added flight caps would be made more flexible, and rather than being measured daily, would be done weekly."By doing them over a week we can get greater utilisation of the caps, which will increase our ability to get more Australians home, and wherever possible, we are looking for additional capacity," he said.

"When Victoria opens up to receive those flights again, that will help us get many more Australians back.""The challenges we have in getting Australians home means the ability to move and take international students back at this time through quarantine arrangements does not present itself," he said.

"I will be forwarding it to their team, because it tells the story of why Australia is being successful and will continue to be successful," he said.

After seven months cut off from the rest of the nation, Western Australia is finally resuming free travel with other states and territories. - is this not “open” then?
