It would not be until 80 per cent of the population is fully vaccinated that further restrictions would be eased – including travel restrictions for people who have had the shots."We didn't sort of pluck this figure out of the air," Mr Morrison told Nine Radio on Saturday.
"So we knew if we could get to that mark, we could have a confidence that you wouldn't then have to go back, like we've seen so many other countries do." "The day where we move forward is the day where we hit those targets — the calendar won't determine it, the vaccination rate will determine it," Mr Morrison said.
Before The FDA Bans the Vaccines
Tell him he’s joking ScottyTheAnnouncer scottymustgo Scottythefukwit MorrisonVaccineCrisis MorrisonSh1tShow
Not at the rate we are going
Of course its achievable if there is no time frame. Does he think we are simpletons.
Yes but not in his lifetime
So long as that 70 or 80% isn’t missing a whole age cohort of under 30s! Time to remove the age barriers to booking Pfizer vax.
he wont commit to a time frame cause he is worried he will not make it, and the next election will be lost because of it
By year 3000
At our current rate of vaccination it will be 5 years to reach that target.
When all the boomers die in the next 40 years and Covid vax is included in the immunization program at school age, might get to near 70%
Right about election time?
By 2028.
It's unlikely people dragging the chain will want to maintain their immunity. How long will it take for COVID to mutate into something as life threatening as the common cold? With both jabs I've 6 months immunity left.
….how can he commit to a time frame when it is the people who determine the vaccination rates? It’s out of his hands.
Pathetic.
More of this...
When late next year?
That’s just great. I can see why no commit, you never can know what the medical professionals are going to say next with the rapid pace they have to work at.
He is hopeless😠 he let liberals down 😔
How can anyone in their right mind believe a word the Prime Minister for Announcements and buck passing says. Believe it when you see it happen.
From80% 2days ago and today 70% and Monday I think will be 50% Tuesday will be forget about it. This is your promise PM Morrison.
Step right up and win the clottery. Roll up your sleeves and do it for all the Diggers and the Anzacs. Do it for old Beryl and Martha and all the women down at the CWA. Save their lives. Step right up and WIN the clottery!
The concern now is that vaccinated people infected with delta can transmit the virus. CDC
No it's not and it won't open up at that anyway
Another fairy story from a government in flux. I vote liberal but really start telling the truth or lose the election. It is time for honest politics
Clearly the PM hasn’t heard of SMART goals. Then given how smart he isn’t, we shouldn’t be surprised. VaccineStrollout
Instead of who’s vaccinated, we should have a giant ‘clock’ counting down how many LEFT to be vaccinated! More motivational. Those that aren’t can then say, hey I can help bring that number down by getting vaxxed.
yeah, depends on how quickly he can get the vaccine to the states, so yeah 2025?
If Scomo can beg, borrow or ….. and provide enough vaccines then it’s possible.
But I thought we needed 80%?
He turned Australia into North Korea. Fully locked, and no plan.
Maybe by the time ScottMorrisonMP calls an election
70% isn’t enough and his figures don’t include children. You’ve had a go Morrison, now it’s time to go.
So do all those vaccinated get held at ransom by those who aren’t? If we hit 65% and there is a bunch of fence sitters so we all just have to wait. I think 3 months from when everyone is eligible and then move onto the next stage we cannot wait forever
Blah blah ..take responsibility a day get a bloody shot
70% is not possible without mandating vaccinations. The population is far too selfish to go beyond 64%; regardless of availability.
NOBODY BELIEVES YOU FOREVER 😂
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 At the end, he will say 'SORRY' to stay away from those promises.
Absolute waste of an announcement. When we have more vaccines lockdowns are less likely. No shit Sherlock!
For cook?
By when? 2035?
How a out committing to more readily available vaccines in addition to AZ? Or too hard?
In not setting a date he can again pass the blame to someone else when it doesn't happen. There is nothing ScottyFromMarketing will take responsibility for that he has actually done.
Well open vaccination to all comers cut the age restrictions, I tried to get a Pfizer shot at a medical centre in Melbourne ( sign outside stating Pfizer here) to br declined and told to go online and make an appointment ! Should vaccinate anyone that walks in the door 😡
It's easier not to commit if you have no idea.
Just what we needed, another 'plan'.
But I just had my appointment cancelled…
Yeah in 10 years.
Translates as: PM says he won't commit to doing his job, but happy to kill us all if the politics look like they might work for him
So many ppl are still scared of the jab. My whole family including teens have had it but so many haven’t and I can’t see them rushing. I think once it’s open to everyone, if they don’t go get it that’s their problem
FFS - first it was 80%.. Now it’s 70%. This guy’s a complete bozo!
Hey ScottyTheAnnouncer you want to know why dates are better than targets? Just like how you could plan your trip to the jail in the UK. We need to be able to plan. Not everything works like a light switch. People can plan holidays without fear of cancellation due to lockdown.
It is not known what the PM's game is, he knows that he will not fulfill a long time.
Absolutely achievable . . . . in time for the Brisbane Olympics in 2032!
Tomorrow..tomorrow..🎵🎤 It's only a Day Away... ScottyFromMar LiarFromTheShire 🎵
Stop playing geopolitics
By 2025? A target without a timeframe is meaningless!
He wont set a date because he wants to pass the blame to others. The others been us people. This will also turn us on each other. Morrison loves to pass the blame. Quarantine is a federal issue yet he passed on to the states and then blames the states for leaks out of it.
How. W current vaccine hesitancy & supply issues I don’t understand how they think this will happen. My parents haven’t met my child. I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever see them again. But yeah I’m sure once Sisyphus gets his rock up the hill we’ll be fine.
Call an election
Need to make life very easy for the vaxxed and very hard for the unvaxxed... Yes, its not fun having to shove a vac in the arm, but the privileges that Australia has afforded us have been due to far greater sacrifices in the past. Get over it. Get over yourself
By 2077 🙄🙄🙄
Here's a thought. Maybe the Govt could put a 2 percent levy on Medicare for anyone not Covid-19 vaccinated to pay for their possible hospital treatment?
Just get vaccinated and stop complaining
