Mr Kenny said Australia had come a long way from attempts to flatten the curve as it’s now largely adopted a “de facto elimination policy”. “One that Canberra initially resisted, but which was imposed by panicky states like Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland, and now has infected the federal government,” he said.
Mr Kenny said the apparent elimination policy serves as a paradox to the Commonwealth’s attempts to vaccinate the entire population before fully opening up again. “When we're not living with the virus, the urgency to the get vaccinated just won't be there for a lot of people,” he said. “So, it's a classic catch 22 isn't it? We won't open the country up till we're all vaccinated. But the impetus to get vaccinated just isn't as strong unless we open up the country.
David_Howe61 DemographySmith i hope you agree on don’t open the borders until “corona virus is eradicated “

The flu gets in every year and kills people and we live with that and covid will have to be treated the same.
The Prime Minister ScottMorrison should serve all Australians not just the majority (+ athletes, celebrities and the rich). If 21% say they wish borders open then the govt. should work on quarantine facilities and other methods of making sure whoever comes in is clean.
strandedaussies this is what happens when a country has as leadership not certainly made by the best tools in the shed, aka the ancestors of those shipped by the brits the farther possible from London ...
We should learn to live with refugees Offshore border detention facilities are an over zealous elimination strategy Couldn't have said it better myself
For pro-lifers these conservatives sure are keen for people to die.
Right and proper, elimination is the only way to go.
Chris ...What is your acceptable death rate when it comes to living with the virus? Its the best strategy we have until we are all vaccinated.
Yep let us out once we’re jabbed so we can be back with our partners and families
Plans. Distractions. Plans within Distractions Manufacturing News and Outrage for the QuietOstralians daily 🤦🏻♂️
One of these men puts human life first. The other puts Corporate greed and playing Politics first. Who should I trust more? Auspol
I’m wearing a pair of new prescription reading glasses & something terribly wrong with them. Chris Kenny “bending over backwards” to keep it out?😳😳🤷🏽🤷🏽🤔
Yeah. A lot of us don't want people to die from it. We're picky like that. Before any of the 'a virus with a 99% recovery rate' mob come at me, write that down on a piece of paper first, roll it up, shove it up your arse, and set fire to it.
I predict that in two years from now Australia will be isolated with a broken economy and still not vaccinated...
India, Brazil, Europe and the US ‘learned to live with it’ and look at them, they’re thriving…..
'We won't open the country up till we're all vaccinated. But the impetus to get vaccinated just isn't as strong unless we open up the country.” Morrison stuffed that up. He also selected the wrong vaccine deal. What's the rush anyway Kenny, got an empty Bali hut? NY apartment?
Yeah what’s wrong with that tho. Stay safe
Australia is a primitive country. Tueh!!!
I'd rather that instead of thousands of Covid deaths
