State vows to reopen to NSW at 80 per cent

Steven Marshall confirmed to Sky News on Sunday that his state remained committed to the national plan, and that the borders would reopen to NSW, Victoria and the ACT once SA reached 80 per cent double dose vaccination rates.Mr Marshall said the state could still lock out some interstate travellers, but that is likely to be based on local government areas or exposure sites.

South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said the border to NSW, Victoria and the ACT would open when his state hits 80 per cent double dose vaccination rates. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Naomi Jellicoe Mr Marshall’s commitment is markedly different from the Premiers of Western Australia, Queensland and Tasmania, who refuse to be drawn on what will trigger them to reopen their borders.“ … We know that as we increase our vaccination rate, we reduce that transmission rate and hospitalisation, those people needing to go onto ventilators and those people who ultimately die from this disease,” Mr Marshall said.

South Australians should be reunited with their interstate loved ones by Christmas. Picture: Tait Schmaal. In contrast, WA Premier Mark McGowan said last week that his state would remain closed to NSW residents for Christmas, even if they are fully vaccinated.“So we’re just going to have a very strong approach to these things.

Everyone’s supposed to meet a vaccine target percentage whilst families remain separated, businesses die, and infection rates soar.

What about those already double vaccinated?
