Better late than never but yes, it should’ve been in place early doors. As with most things throughout this pandemic, the government is unbelievably slow in acting.

Better late than never.

hopefully people will be more sensible abroad to reduce the risk of picking it up. It means that travel insurance is important, just in case you need to quarantine abroad for 14 days.

i agree a blanket ban on ALL international travel back in March should have been done, but then people would have been complaining about missing their holiday

Damned if they do, damned if they don't springs to mind

1.5million and rising vaccinations compared to Frances (and most other countries) pitiful total to date doesn't seem like slow in acting now

Still around a 100,000 people trying to re-enter Australia. Have to pay their assigned accomodation costs while isolating for 14 days as well.

Being realistic it would have made little difference overall, especially once the virus was endemic amongst the population. After the initial importation of the virus and it becoming established it is estimated that less than one percent of cases have been people bringing it in from abroad, or course that is an estimate, as we did not test people then we do not know for sure.
