A federal ban on Australians leaving the country will be dropped as soon as November under plans to end an extraordinary travel restriction and embrace a “vaccine passport” so travellers can prove they are allowed to cross borders, writes CroweDM

Prime Minister Scott Morrison acknowledged last Friday that the international border could open for people leaving states that had reached the 80 per cent target even if other states had not, given that states such as NSW are ahead of others in vaccinations.

“The national plan makes very clear that once we hit that 80 per cent mark then outbound travel – travel by Australians overseas – will take place and also that we can put in place arrangements for inbound travel as well,” he said.

CroweDM No vaccine, no passport .....great way to go creating the newest 'apartheid' society Australia!!

CroweDM Election soon announcement 🤔

CroweDM Does this include the undocumented border crossers? How about the homeless that are sleeping in subways, bus depots, vestibules and hwy underpasses?

CroweDM Mass exodus on the way for Australia

CroweDM Awesome news!!

CroweDM Great, however why on earth is any quarantine continuing upon return when 80% of people are vaccinated? Essential workers who cannot work from home cannot be expected to take another 2 weeks annual leave after going on holiday overseas.

CroweDM Hopefully the 'passport' expires 8 months after the second jab. Apparently the vaccines can't be guaranteed beyond that.

CroweDM I have a feeling he's calling the election around that time. Can he be lucky! auspol COVID19Aus

CroweDM Vax passport unconstitutional and in conflict with privacy laws. I'm mystified as to why there is not talk of this in the MSM or from the legal fraternity. vaxpassport

CroweDM That'll make Scotty's lockdown the longest of any Australian leader, at 591 days. Canada is at 70% double vaccinated, but 'not safe'. So why is NSW safe for people from WA, but not Canada?

CroweDM Classic feel good distraction story fed out the PMO to the MSM after monumental stuff ups this week. We see Scott and his office.

CroweDM While you're at it. SackHunt

School bans mum over low-cut crop topA mum has claimed she was banned from attending a meeting at her son’s school for as her crop top showed too much cleavage. Probably. It’s horrible how slutty girls/womens “fashion” has become. How they believe they need it. Have some values, morals and self respect/esteem. My goodness. Surely there are more important things to be reporting about. Do you have a whole team of writers scanning global news sources to find garbage clickbait stories like this?

Thank you! A justified outcome for WAWHumanRights It’s sad that they had to be athletes to get the protection visas. On a positive note, great they got it.
