Australia is blocking foreign tourists until at least 2022, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Tuesday.

“We will get to international visitors as well, I believe next year,” Morrison said when discussing lifting more pandemic restrictions, The Associated Press reported.

Australia has had some of the toughest travel restrictions among democracies during the pandemic, with virtually all foreign travel banned since March 2020.

Once an island prison, always an island prison. Or are Aussies free to travel away from Australia?

Don’t worry, just “2 weeks to flatten the curve”. Said 78 weeks ago.

So, only domestic tourists can travel to Australia?

I’ll admit to not knowing a lot about Australia - but I guess I always thought the nation as a whole was a freedom-loving one with an independent bent. And no, I’m not thinking the Crocodile Dundee caricature. IIRC, they were electing Conservative governments in Parliament in the not to distant past.

What has happened there? IMHO, they sound like they’ve gone off the deep end substantially more than we have.

Yes, apparently their current government is made up of descendants of the original prison wardens.

Yup. China should call their bluff.

The Aussies are only good at beating up defenseless unarmed people.

Just a wild guess, but Georgy Schwartz and his Dominion voting machines?

I’m blocked from Australia for the rest of my life. However, I do plan on visiting freer countries like Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and etc.

“Or are Aussies free to travel away from Australia?”

No, the inmates have to apply for a Soviet-style exit visa and the majority of such requests are routinely denied and the applicants can count on visits from the police asking why they’d want to leave Australia, which is a Worker’s Paradise™

Unless you have family there, why would you want to go after seeing how they treat people.

Since you mentioned Crocodile Dundee you might be interested in what the Marxist pricks in Australia did to the real life man that story was based upon:

The Australian Tourism Export Council wants to have international travel up and running by March of next year, but it is unclear what kind of quarantine rules could remain in place, potentially hindering the tourism industry.

Who the hell wants to go to Australia? Riots in the streets and a virtual police state... Yeah. No thanks.

“I’m blocked from Australia for the rest of my life.”

Might you tell us why, if you don’t mind, that is.
