Australians have overwhelmingly supported state and territory moves to close their borders with Victoria as concern about the coronavirus continues to rise.
Support was slightly lower in Victoria than other states and territories, with 74 per cent of Victorians saying they thought the border closures were the right thing to do in the face of the second wave of infections sweeping their state.Credit:NSW last week closed its border with Victoria, while all states and territories have severe restrictions in place for travellers from Victoria including mandatory 14-day quarantine.
A growing proportion of Australians also appears to believe the country is not taking the virus seriously enough, with 72 per cent saying Australia is responding to the coronavirus at an appropriate level, down from 82 per cent five weeks ago.The online survey of 1208 Australian voters, conducted last Thursday, also shows mixed feelings about who should foot the bill for quarantining returning travellers.

Duh
My favourite part of the border closures is watching apparently normal people start behaving like a bunch of assholes. It's been educational!
. We need the RAAF to regularly strafe the borders with high-caliber munitions...
Few weeks ago I think nsw premier or someone from her government were critical of qld for keeping the nsw/qld border closed. I could be wrong about this but I vaguely recall there were words between qld & nsw premiers.
Yes, this is just great...
If borders are closed, can Australians flying into Sydney still take a plane or bus to their home in Melbourne after quarantining? Can we please self isolate at home to save money in a financial crisis DanielAndrewsMP ScottMorrisonMP?
Well done to Dan and his CMO
The Leftist Victorians post a serious threat to the rest of Australia thanks to the negligent actions of its Commie CCP loving leaders.
This is getting ridiculous. “Test, isolate and suppress” is not the same as “lockdown”. This is not China. Well, not yet.
It's cycling back to you NSW. Don't be too pious and judgey about this RubyPrincess
While the border closures are necessary and should have been in place weeks ago, unfortunately it is an easy solution for many to point the finger at others and not take any personal responsibility by following health guidelines.
NSW attempts to gut Victorian Sport Can go get fycked. Sydney may fool tourists, but rest of Australia know Sydney just a pig with lipstick.
The Qld/NSW has been a sieve for weeks plenty from Sydney been going to holiday homes in FNQ and Noosa before opening some via their Portsea or Mount Martha 😳places.
We’ve got to live with the virus. Even Europe has opened its borders to Australia.
Not only do we support the border closures we can't understand why the NSW/Vic border wasn't closed 2 weeks ago. Many were calling for it. Once again NSW, as in Ruby debacle, the decision was made too late. Should err on the side of caution, not wait and see first, acting to late
*concerned
Victorians have been fined $24,000 after police busted them trying to cross the Queensland border illegally Hmm How many R spreading the Virus from VIC? C-Virus, Active cases was down to 382, June 16 Today because of the incompetents of Labor VIC we have 1961
Short sightedness leading to destruction of the country .
WILL YOU STOP THIS SHIT, IT'S A NOTHING VIRUS, IT'S TIME YOU STOPPED THIS PORN
I’m sure Australians would back a complete international border closure. Why isn’t that happening?
