While opening up the travel corridor remains a priority, the scale of the outbreak that has forced the country’s largest city into a renewed lockdown means plans are on hold, Dan Tehan told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"It has been put back due to the third wave of the virus,” he said."The hope might be towards the end of the year that you could look at a travel bubble with Singapore.” While Australia was an early success story in the fight against the coronavirus, a sluggish vaccine rollout means even as the rest of the world opens up the country’s borders are expected to stay shut until mid-2022.
Just 26% of the population have received their first jab, compared with 68.5% in the U.K, according to Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker. When borders do open, Tehan said he expects vaccine passports would be required for travel for years."It could be like the little yellow booklet for yellow fever.” - Bloomberg

MP SPEAKS | Malaysia needs a 'reset' to halt its descent into a failed stateAre the ideas of Umno founder Onn Jaafar to end race-based politics still 'too ahead of the times'?

Not only those in the government but also the opposition. Mostly all of them need to be replaced, you included. All political parties should be dissolved. MP and Adun should be elected on their own capabilities, then only Malaysia will progress.
