As Sydney's Northern Beaches outbreak continues to grow, here is everything you need to know about the current interstate travel restrictions.

Just a week before Christmas, state and territory leaders have rushed to impose new travel restrictions on travellers from Sydney's Northern Beaches, where a coronavirus cluster is continuing to grow.

Permits will be issued using a"traffic light system": the Northern Beaches will be deemed 'red zones', greater Sydney is 'amber' and the rest of NSW will be 'green'.

Greater Sydney Commission head wants at least nine universities in SydneyThe head of the Greater Sydney Commission wants to see the city transformed into three leading global precincts with at least three universities in each area and the ability to attract global brands | AngusGthompson AngusGthompson The Labor triangle will be strangled for funds. AngusGthompson These three so-called 30 min cities are pure fantasy of an administration which tries to sell this misleading concept to the public to accept an 8 million Sydney. Just look at these GSC graphs. A 30 min walk is maybe 2.5 km. A 30 min train trip is 25 km. Nothing adds up here. AngusGthompson The recent handling of intl boarders didn't give any confidence to International students.

Trans-Tasman travel bubble will be a 'template' for further international travel | Sky News AustraliaLabor MP Peter Khalil says the two-way trans-Tasman travel bubble will be a “template” for international travel going forward.\n\nThe two-way travel corridor could be opened as early as Friday after being delayed due to snap lockdowns and COVID-19 outbreaks across Australia.\n\n“It will be fantastic for the tourism sectors in both countries,” he said.\n\n“We hope this works really well because it’s a template for what we’re going to see going forward.\n\n“There are going to be ways that we set up these bubbles where people may be able to travel without having to quarantine if they get a vaccine.\n\n“As it is with Australia and New Zealand, we can travel potentially without quarantining, without the vaccine because there’s very low cases or zero cases in both countries.\n\n“So let’s hope that the template with New Zealand works and we learn the lessons well and then we can apply it to other countries around the world.' \n\n PeterKhalilMP I have been trading and have had many experience but I have gained more ever since I meet girlgone I have made profit of 10k for the past 1weeks with a Investmet of 1100 and I have access to my account,thanks to girlgone46 PeterKhalilMP its a hopeless strategy from anz govts? must allow vaccinated travellers to freely enter anz! how long will u keep family & friends away?

Trans-Tasman travel bubble is ‘not yet a normal travel situation’ | Sky News AustraliaTourism Industry Aotearoa CEO Chris Roberts told Sky News people need to be aware the trans-Tasman travel bubble is not yet a “normal travel situation”. \n\n“It seems almost inevitable, given the track record, that there will be some sort of community transmission outbreak in either Australia or New Zealand in the coming months,” he said. \n\nHowever, Mr Roberts said the confidence for travellers and the governments lies in how quickly recent outbreaks have been contained.\n\n“For the traveller that means you might be required to extend your holiday a few days, which is not the worst thing to happen to you,” he said.\n\n“If you’re coming to New Zealand, if there’s a community transmission outbreak and you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time your stay might be extended.\n\n“The Australian government might require you to stay a few days longer in New Zealand, take a test, prove that you’re clear before they let you back into Australia. \n\n“People need to be aware this is not yet a normal travel situation”. \n \nMr Roberts said the New Zealand government’s traffic light system should ensure the response to any outbreaks is “as targeted as possible”.\n\n“So if you’re over here from Australia and you’re in the South Island and there’s a case in Auckland, well there’s no impact on you whatsoever, you won’t face any restrictions.'\n All travel is normal, it's only bureaucratic lonatics and fake news that purport a one sided propoganda saturation narrative of premeditated scaremongering that gets in the way...!!!
