There are many people, me included, who have family o/s and it has been indicated that Australians will not be able to leave the country for another year, like all of 2021. This helps "keep Australia safe" we are told. No family reunions/ weddings/ funerals/ graduations etc etc. I see no logic in this.
I would really like to know how stopping people leaving Australia helps protect Australians?????? Especially considering how military and "essential workers" can keep traveling like sports people, military and primary industry resource exploiters ie miners.
And then, you read stories like this so I think it is fair to ask "WTF is going on?"

@powder We ALL do have a choice, that choice being either,
a) accept things as they are for the interim, thus staying as SAFE as possible from infection or infecting others, or,
b) being selfish BASTARDS, not giving a hoot thus letting Covid run riot through the population of Australia and the world.
Take a good, long look at what the Spanish Flu did in the early 20th. Century where there were NO International large volume Airline flights, etc.
Or the European Plagues even earlier, IF memory serves correct, the DEATH Toll from just ONE those outbreaks was around 1/3rd of the ENTIRE population of Europe, including England.
Had there Mass Transport available then the Death Toll would most likely have been somewhere around the 50% mark at least.
Please DO NOT take this the wrong way, BUT you are beginning to sound very much like another 'certain' member of this group who will remain unnamed.
@powder Yes, Victoria stuffed up BIG time, I agree.
But your Premier stuck to her guns and kept you safe did she not?
ATM, the "Travel Bubble' ONLY goes One Way, from N.Z. to Australia and Kiwis who come here for visits, etc, will eventually return to N.Z.
This Pandemic is something that modern society, the 21st. Century that is, was neither prepared nor ready for, it IS a whole new and terrifying thing to say the very least, the World-wide Death Toll is now well over the 1 MIILION mark and STILL rising.
I heartily disagree with the Snobs/Politicians, etc, etc, being given a kind 'carte blanch' travel-wise IT should be ! rule for ALL and No Exceptions.
This IS why I advocate for NEWER changes to Governments, the Constitution, etc, etc, in Australia to ENSURE that EVERYONE is treated Equally.
You have been gaoled for crimes against humanity?

@powder thank your NLP Government. By the way can you travel to other states yet?
@powder Well if you are not allowed to dtand & drink no one will know if you're drunk or dead and the average Queenslander is said to need all the help they can get. 
@powder that explains a lot. 
@powder like NZ they paid half a million to migrate largely to improve the Queensland & NZ average IQ?
@powder ACT or Federal politicians?

@powder I have just been told that I'm#565 on the wait list for new dentures. I've just pointed out that the prosthetic teeth have now worn down & no longer protect my few natural teeth. Consequently the plate moves laterally in my mouth & results in damage to the inside of my jaw & gum. I'm debating whether & which local MP to compain to.
@powder I thought that Hancock's fat daughter wanted travel to Singapore normalising first?
@powder I thought smoking is now verboten on planes?
@powder I believe that her primary reidence is now in Singapore. Mind you she probably is not restricted as a FIFO miner.
@powder Please inform @FrayedBear that his precious little State's borders are now opened up.
Oh, Bullshit, Twaddle, Mickey Drippings and utter Bat-shit.
