Australia is on track to allow borders to reopen by Christmas, the country's minister for trade, tourism and investments said

"I do empathize with the Australians who have been denied the opportunity to travel overseas this year," Tourism Minister Dan Tehan said during a talk that was organized by the National Press Club of Australia but broadcast online due to coronavirus restrictions.

Earlier this week, Tehan laid out some of the tasks that will need to happen to get the country on the road to reopening. The national vaccine rollout has been so vital that Australia's tourism board created a special domestic ad urging people to get jabbed.

In July, Australian public broadcaster ABC reported that 38,000 Australians were on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's. The Australian government also imposed rules largely preventing residents from departing the country.
