I keep saying it: dedicated quarantine facilities, not bloody hotels in the middle of town.
This is Australia, we know how to do quarantine, there are a pile of diseases we don't have, we just need to do this properly.

Its especially important to do it this way now we are re-opening Domestic economies.
If we retain that then I can see us being successful in managing and suppressing the virus within Australia.
It is highly likely that support for certain industries (hospitality etc) will be required for a significant time period. For example, we can encourage Australians to holiday within Australia, but there are stats (and I can't remember where I saw them) but I think there was a stat showing that overseas holiday makers spend 4 times as much within Australia as Australians on holiday do.
My family still lives in the UK and its pretty clear they have surrendered to the virus, they have also had a shockingly poor response to it. Those that criticise Andrews government should take a look at the UK government response which has been nothing short of awful.
I can see Australia will continue down the route of travel bubbles, obviously first with NZ, then probably Asian countries less impacted by Covid, potentially even China in order to drive the growth back in our university sector.
Travel to and from many countries (mainland Europe etc, US etc) will not be available for a long long time. I've never felt further away from my family as I do right now.
