Trade Minister Dan Tehan says the federal government is negotiating with Singapore about a potential travel bubble, but is in “no rush to open the borders” to international travel. | annikasmethurst aishamae

Speaking in Melbourne on Saturday, Mr Tehan refused to provide a benchmark, such as a vaccination rate, that would see Australia open up a travel bubble with Singapore, saying it would be up to medical experts.

Mr Morrison said identifying people who had been fully vaccinated was key to the creation of further travel bubbles - following Australia’s first travel bubble, with New Zealand - with Singapore and potentially Japan and South Korea to follow.that foreign students who had been fully vaccinated could be used to trial a new traffic light system for international ­arrivals.

“Australia strongly believes in the World Trade Organization as a means and a mechanism to try and resolve these disputes.”amid an ongoing trade war. Mr Tehan said Australia's wine exports have fallen from $1.1 billion to approximately $20 million as a consequence of China's tariffs.

annikasmethurst aishamae Why would anyone want to go to Singapore

annikasmethurst aishamae What a load of nonsense Singapore still has cases Why do the press fall for this rubbish

annikasmethurst aishamae Cabinet full of vaccine deniers . Australia,the true backwater country .

annikasmethurst aishamae State and federal governments in Australia are incredibly incompetent. Gladys the only politician actually doing ok.

annikasmethurst aishamae Of course they are not in a rush to open international borders, they stuffed up the vaccine rollout - procurement and supply and we are seeing the results of those poor decisions. Our population hasn’t been protected and thus fortress Australia will remain, economy will suffer.

annikasmethurst aishamae In other words, no plan and no clue on what to do.

annikasmethurst aishamae Talks lead to commitee, commitees lead to subcommitees. It all leads to months and months of absolutely nothing 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. For more information, see vaccine rollout

annikasmethurst aishamae No rush because they will stuff it up. If we can't get vaccinated it will never happen.

annikasmethurst aishamae DanTehanWannon - there is a rush. One in three Australians was born overseas. Millions of us have family to see. In addition, the country will lose tens of billions in non renewed contracts, lost chances, tourism, goodwill and so on. Fewer snouts in the trough. More action.
